Bikini babes' record shower

BIKINI-clad girls gathered to break a world record this weekend - by taking a shower together.

One hundred and fifty two girls and boys lathered up on Bournemouth beach despite the chilly conditions to take part in the event. The attempt smashed the previous record was set in America by 145 people.  

Anna Orford from the Guiness Book of World Records was on hand to deliver the verdict on the stunt, arranged by Lynx to launch their new shower gel. She said: "It's touch and go weather-wise but we did it.

"The people of Bournemouth have to be applauded for getting into the spirit of the day and taking a shower together. 

"Their reward is a new record for the most people showering simultaneously at the same venue.
