BRITS WOULD ALSO SHAVE THEIR EYEBROWS OFF TO BAG THE CASH AS WELL SWIMMING IN A BATH OF BAKED BEANS AND SPENDING 24 HOURS LOCKED IN A LIFT WITH THEIR EX MARTIN WINTER 00:01, 04 Jun
2025Updated 08:21, 04 Jun 2025 One in 10 Brits would lick a stranger’s armpit for £10,000 and a quarter would shave their eyebrows off to bag the cash. A poll of 2,000 adults found going
without their phone for a month, swimming in a bath of baked beans and spending 24 hours locked in a lift with their ex were also among the funny things they’d do for money. While 41% would
go without a cup of tea for a year, and 18% would happily belt out a rendition of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ in a crowded tube carriage. The research was commissioned by Tango. Love Island All
Stars winner Casey O’Gorman, who teamed up with the drink for the study, said: “Excuse the humble brag, but I have some experience with winning so am lucky to know how great it feels.
“There’s not much I wouldn’t do to recreate that feeling, though I do draw the line at a baked bean bath.” Article continues below The research found four in 10 would be willing to wear
Crocs everywhere they went for a whole month, for a chance to bag £10k. While 20% would happily let a tarantula clamber all over their face. Respondents are slightly more likely to opt to do
something embarrassing over something scary. In the event of a £10k windfall, 44% would save it, while 30% would treat friends or family, according to the figures. And 81% would still
accept a £10k prize - even if it was delivered to them in the form of a million pennies. Asia Banger, brand manager at Tango, said: “Turns out Brits have no chill when it comes to chasing
cash, but why not embrace the silliness every now and then. “This is all a great reminder that the British sense of humour is alive and well - especially when it comes with the chance to win
something. Article continues below “Though luckily, in this case, all people need to do is buy a pack and scan to enter, so those eyebrows are safe!” TOP 20 THINGS BRITS WOULD DO FOR £10K *
