BBC Hereford & Worcester presenter Vic Kidgell has had a close shave to raise money for a children's charity.

Mr Kidgell had his head shaved while on air on Friday to raise money for the Acorns Children's Hospice Trust.

The event is expected to raise £3,000 for the charity.

Listener John Mann joined in the fun by having his 31-year-old beard shaved off.

Mark Atkins, who is from Sidbury Barber's Shop, in Worcester, carried out the close shave in the radio station's car park.

Mr Kidgell paid tribute to his many sponsors, who have helped him to raise such an impressive sum for the charity.

"The support we have had is fantastic," he said.
