The annual contest attracts a global audience
A milkman dressed as Rambo and an animal lover in a massive dog costume are among those preparing to take the plunge at the World Gravy Wrestling Championships .
"A bit earlier this year, I'd gone out for a few drinks with my other half and and I saw that the applications were opened and I thought I would never get into it, but I'll sign myself up for it on a bit of a whim and by some twist of fate I've got in." She said her "other half" James, 34 did not seem surprised when he found out she was participating. "He knows I'm prone to doing strange things," she added. "My friends thought it was hilarious and they're all going to come down and watch.""My partner's mum and stepdad are coming to stay with us that weekend to go and see the gravy wrestling and they have no idea I've signed up," she said.
"It'll be a good bit of entertainment for me to focus on and obviously raise some money for charities as well," the 50-year-old milkman told PA. Mr Rowland will be raising money for both the East Lancashire Hospice and Fylde Coast Veterans, the latter of which supports Armed Forces Veterans, serving personnel and their families.
