Harnessing the power of her hair a Circus of Horrors acrobat has dragged a 3.5 tonne minibus 25 metres - more than the length of a tennis court.

Anastasia IV is hoping the outrageous stunt, performed outside Fairfield Halls on Monday October 17, will land herself a place in the Guinness book of records.

She said: "I have a Guinness world record for lifting the heaviest weight with my hair, 54 kilograms, but I haven't had this one confirmed yet."

The Polish national, who lives in North London, will be joined by her Circus colleagues on November 1 at the Fairfield Halls where she will swing from the rafters supporting a fellow acrobat by her hair.

She said: "It hurts, of course, but i can block it out. Having done the act for three years I am quite used to it. If I slammed my finger in a door I'd scream like a baby because I wouldn't expect it."
