Who said housework was boring?

Cleaner Kevin Everitt is launching a new service where he will clean women's homes - wearing little more than a raunchy leather apron.

Father-of-two Kevin decided he was done and dusted with being a printer when he was made redundant earlier this month.

His wife, Sam, suggested he should go into the cleaning business because he is so good around the house.

Kevin, 38, of Hamlet Court Road, Westcliff, said: "It was her idea to put together my body and cleaning skills. You see these supermodels earning money from their bodies, so I thought why not.

"I have been body training for 14 years and work out every day.

"People say I've got a good body and this way I'm able to share it with my customers."

"My normal rate is just £6 an hour but for £10 an hour they get to see my muscles. I had the leather apron specially made."

Kevin, alias Mr Muscles, has made up strict ground rules - husbands must be informed he's coming and he won't clean in front of large groups of women.

He said: "It's a bit of fun for women but they'll get their housework done at the same time."

To contact Kevin's business, called Male Hands, telephone 07940 705738.
