Gateshead firm creates the world's longest stag and hen t-shirt – so mates can be stitched together

A Gateshead firm has created the world's longest stag and hen t-shirt which lets mates spend their weekend stitched together.

The quirky creation, dubbed the 'Human Stagipede' in a nod to the notorious 2009 flick 'The Human Centipede', can see up to eight people fit inside. The hilarious design means hens and stags can literally get closer to each other.

Giggling passers-by snapped selfies with the 'Stagipede' as – pints in hand – the thirsty fellas wriggled past the Tyne Bridge before hitting the Toon.

And it turned the heads of stunned Geordies, with one quipping: "I just hope none of them need the toilet, because that’s going to be really awkward."
