A British lorry driver has become the “first person in history” to climb Mount Kilimanjaro while carrying a FRIDGE.
Michael Copeland scaled the 19,340ft (5,895m) dormant volcano with a 30kg (4.7st) kitchen appliance strapped to his back.
The 39-year-old HGV driver and former Army fitness instructor completed the gruelling challenge to raise awareness about mental health.
