THIS is the incredible moment that a young bloke let his mates set off a firework, placed between his BUM CHEEKS as a dare - all for just £10.

A video clip has emerged on Facebook showing the moment Johnathon Allen from Basingstoke let pals ignite the dangerous explosive, with the bottom nestled nicely in his, well - bottom.

Johnathon, a lifeguard at Basingstoke Aquadrome, is seen lying on the ground in the seven second long footage as the top of the firework is lit and heavy bass music plays in the background.

But it isn't long before he's shrieking out in pain as the flames burn his backside - with the clip ending as the rocket EXPLODES from his rear end.

The condition of the former Basingstoke College of Technology student following the idiotic stunt isn't yet known - but the clip was posted on Facebook by pal Oly Sayer on Tuesday with the caption: "Was it worth it for a £10 Johnathon Allen?"
