OXFORDSHIRE'S own naked chef bared almost all for Children in Need today, as he sold soup wearing only an apron outside a Headington pub.

Lewis Measey and pub staff sold soup and fresh baguettes for £1 from a stall on the pavement of London Road.

Mr Measey, chef at the Royal Standard, said: "I'm just like Jamie Oliver, but better-looking."

The soup kitchen stall is part of a three-day series of events at the Royal Standard, which they hope will raise hundreds of pounds.

Pub manager Sam Kerr said: "Lewis is keeping his apron on. I like to know my staff, but not that well."

They are holding a reggae night with a charity collection tonight and a Christmas Hamper raffle tomorrow.
