DR Fitness, based at Holy Innocents Community Hall, Kidderminster, said "pants to poverty" to raise £700 for Comic Relief.

Around 50 gyrating female funsters from three classes displayed their underwear in true Comic Relief style to boost the charity's kitty.

It was the latest annual fund-raising event for the group which has raised £5,800 for district and national charities in the last six years.

Diane Ricci, who runs the group, said: "We have a great bunch of people here.

"They all join in the fun and do their bit.

"It's tremendous to think we have raised nearly £6,000 in the last six years."
