'I wouldn't recommend high heels:' Wildlife presenter Iolo Williams transforms himself in drag for charity event and fans love it

You may recognise Welsh wildlife presenter Iolo Williams on Springwatch, Autumnwatch, and his own show Iolo's Pembrokeshire. However, you might not recognise or expect to see him as a drag queen.

Iolo ditched his practical walking clothes for a stunning purple dress, heavy makeup, and a flowing red wig to raise money for the charity the Lingen Davies Cancer Appeal. During the night in Llanfair Caereinion in Powys he also sported a purple, pink and blue leopard print swimming costume, all while in heels.

The wildlife presenter spoke about why he donned the look. He said: "We all know people who have suffered from cancer, I've got a couple of friends from way back who died of cancer, so I am lucky, touch wood so far, cancer free and its the least you can do."
