The task was then performed in front of three celebrities and the audience, who gambled on the outcome of the challenge.

Chairman of Diggerland, Hugh Edeleanu, who personally devised and planned the stunt, said: “We’re incredibly proud to showcase what can be achieved with a construction machine like the JCB 3CX.

"This is a stunt like no other, and it highlights the skill of our driver and the remarkable capabilities of our equipment.

"However, we must stress that this is not something anyone should attempt at home!”
