Ouch - that's got to hurt! Seven tough teachers at a Canvey school had their legs waxed to raise funds for the school's annual prom.
Youngsters at Cornelius Vermuyden School, in Third Avenue, had to pay just 50p for the pleasure of seeing their teachers being stripped of their leg hair.
The school's ICT manager Chris Watson, who was heavily involved in organising the leg wax, said: "Most of the staff seemed to take it with a pinch of salt and kept smiling throughout.

"However, we did have a couple of wimps - originally nine teachers said they were up for it, but two chickened out at the last minute!"
