Daniel Caldwell, 32, was challenged by 'lifelong friend' Curtis Lunt, 34, to change his name if their charity fundraiser raised more than £3,000.

Last year the pals raised £2,100 for their local children's hospice, Derian House by running a duck race and Daniel dared Curtis to get a tattoo of a rubber duck on his leg if they raised over £1,500.

This year it was Curtis' turn to come up with the dare and after raising £3,100 for the charity Daniel has no choice but to fulfil his friend's wish.

Daniel, a chef, from Ribchester, said: "I just joked about the dares for a couple of years and then obviously last year he [Curtis] had to get the tattoo.

"So I knew something was coming and our relationship is that strong and funny. I knew something big was coming like that."
