A VIDEO of an Argos worker, who donned denim hotpants and high heels in the middle of a high street to raise more than £1,100 for charity, has gone viral.

Part-time worker Connor Doran strutted through Accrington town centre wearing the strange ensemble, including a shirt, tie and suit jacket, as part of the store’s work for Macmillan Cancer Support.

The plucky teen’s spoof of the moneysupermarket.com advert was filmed on Broadway and has attracted 250,000 views on Facebook.

Connor, who was filmed dancing to the Pussycat Dolls’ Dont Cha, said: “I didn’t expect the video to go viral, but I’m so happy to be raising money for Macmillan, and having a laugh at the same time.

“Wearing heels and hot pants isn’t something I’d normally do, but it was so much fun and worth it to raise money for such a worthy cause.”

The clip received mixed reviews, with some people praising the 19-year-old’s bravery.

On Facebook Sian Holland-Clarke said: “I think men should do this for charity. It would raise a fortune.

“I hate the fact he has better legs than me.”

Another post by Sarah Hill said: “Well done to the guy. I need lessons from him, I can’t walk in heels.”

Connor’s antics also attracted a number of negative comments from social media trolls. The teen hit back, saying: “For those saying I’m stupid for doing such a thing, just remember I did it for a charity that helps people who suffer with cancer, not just the person with the disease but the family around them.

“I have more balls to do that than people just going on Facebook .”

Accrington Argos store manager Cathy Smith said: “The event raised £1,100 and Connor has raised £63 on his own fundraising page.”

Cathy said each store was asked to raise £27 – enough to pay for a cancer nurse for one hour – but staff at the store decided to go one step further.

Future events are set to include a summer fair.
