Meet the man with Britain's longest beard whose whiskers measure an amazing 2-FEET in length

Michael spent four years honing his impressive locks

This is the man credited with having Britain's longest beard after he grew his whiskers an incredible 2-FEET in length.

Michael Legge, 29, spent four years letting his facial fuzz lengthen to reach the impressive milestone.

The dad-of-two from Rotherham, South Yorks, has won a host of gongs for his impressive beard length.

Joiner Michael, who lives with wife Toni, 24, said: "I've entered twelve competitions and come first in ten of them.

"The last one I won was The British Beard and Moustache Championships in Bath in September in the Full Beard Natural over twelve inches category."

Michael has an impressive grooming kit and styles his ginger locks in a variety of ways, from traditional to madcap.

He said: "At the beginning she thought it was silly but she has grown to cope with it."

Hairdresser Toni said: "I don't really notice it any more, it's not as good as kissing him without it but I've got used to it now
