He said: "I wanted to raise money to help my mum and her friends that work so hard to go on the catwalk.”
His target was £300 – but before the show he had raised £534 in sponsorship and on the night of the show donations came flooding in as he played, raising a further £1,155.
He added: "Thank you to every single person that donated – every single penny helped me smash my target to the moon and back again and I am proud of myself.”

“The strong message of the night was check your body.
"Any lumps bumps or long lasting pain or discomfort, if in doubt get it checked out.”
