Filmmakers on the shoot for the video to the Fatboy Slim remix of Markus Nikolai's forthcoming single 'BUSHES' have broken the world record for the most bikini waxes ever completed. The shoot, which took place at the Topnotch Health club in Whiteleys Porchester Gardens, brought tears to the eyes of 74 women (and two men) in fours hours, shaving minutes of the world record.

Official judicators from the Guinness Book Of Records stood by and watch the feat enter the history books. A press spokesperson for Fatboy said: "The concept was genius, the process was agony, but the results were stunning." Norman Cook's remix of Marcus Nikolai's 'Bushes' is released through Southern Fried Records on September 10.
