GET you're kit off for the girls! That's the catch phrase for these hunks. Their raunchy antics are causing a stir among the female fraternity as well as coining in hundreds of pounds for charity.

The five, actually four New Forest careworkers and a Southampton barrister, love stripping off - but the physical attributes they display have earned them the unflattering title The Unmagnificent Four.

They have no problem providing something for everyone - as long as you don't mind pot-bellies bouncing about.

The idea for a Full Monty group to raise money for charity came after care worker Dave White saw a video of the film and immediately thought of his co-workers' talents at Stoney Cross's Ocknell House residential home - Colin Carter, 38, Marvin Garner, 27, Alex Howatt, 24 - and ex-colleague-turned-barrister Sean Huggett, 25.

But Dave, 47, of Shepherd's Hey Road, Calmore, is under no illusions as to what they have to offer expectant audiences.

He said: "Anyone will understand the group's name once they see us. For instance, I'm five five and Colin's six seven and there's a fair few pot-bellies in the group.

"It's all a comedy thing really and people love it."

So far the group has stripped twice for charity - for children's equipment at Southampton General and for meningitis victim Aarron Phipps. Now the group is looking for more gigs and to raise even more money for charity.

But what can punters expect from the extrovert gang

Father-of-two Dave said: "We do a Full Monty at the end but it's only for a few seconds.

"It's a good laugh and all done in the best possible taste. It's a show you could take your granny to."

The group's favourite tunes to get in the mood include YMCA, Night Fever, Kiss and Hot Stuff - a description that satisfied audiences clearly feel suits the group.

Sylvia Mussell, 46, who has been to both shows at Totton's Empire Hall, said: "The audiences were going crazy. It was just like the real thing with women clambering on the stage and bouncers having to keep everyone in order.

"When we came into work the next day everybody was still talking about it.

And how did Sylvia cope with seeing her colleagues in the buff

"It certainly puts a different angle on things but they've clearly got it all there," she said.
