A YouTube star from Sittingbourne, known as KickItWithAsh, has released a video with a difference.

After Ashley Syme's father Colin was diagnosed with prostate cancer four months ago, he wanted to do something to help.

He was approached by @MessyMale fundraisers for the Teenage Cancer Trust via Twitter who sent him some gunge to make a video to raise money for charity.

The 23-year-old, who lives in Sonara Fields, enlisted the help of MTV’s Ex On The Beach star Youssef Hassan, from Chatham, to make the video.

The pair, who have been friends for about six years after meeting at Chatham South School, are filmed undertaking a range of challenges from eating a muffin with no hands, to the chubby bunny challenge.

After losing the challenges, Ashley was gunged by Youssef.

He hopes to raise as much money as possible for a charity which means a lot to him and his family.

The call centre worker said: “My dad thinks I’m an idiot for doing this.”

His father, who used to work for a traffic light control company, is currently undergoing radiotherapy but can find comic relief in his son’s videos.

“My dad’s okay with his illness I think, he’s taking it on the chin.”

His family have have received support from Cancer Research and Ashley is keen to spread the word.

“I really want to help spread some awareness of cancer and the work that cancer charities do, and the more money that I can raise the better.”
