Britain's dirtiest radio put on display outside Tate Modern - and passes for art

A nationwide competition has crowned Britain's dirtiest radio – with the winning device passing for a modern work of art outside the Tate Modern gallery in London.

The winning device, belonging to 37-year-old builder, Christopher Kitchenside, from Borehamwood, London, is coated in cement, mud, sand, and brick dust, and has a car aerial from a building site in place of its original aerial, and a golf ball serving as a makeshift volume dial.

It went up against the radios of more than 40 other tradespeople from around the UK, including devices that had been left to get drenched in the rain – and even thrown off a rooftop.
