The Gimp Man of Essex is a microcelebrity in Colchester, where locals sometimes spot him doing his weekly shop in Tesco, clad head-to-toe in black latex.

He even shared his outings, and posts pictures of himself for stunned onlookers on social media, going by @GimpManofEssex, and has been frequenting his village harmlessly for the past nine years.
