'We've heard some amazing stories from so many who have been directly, or indirectly, affected by cancer and wanted to give something back.
'I am really proud Adventure Island could offer them this opportunity. Admittedly it would have been nice to have bettered our record - but we are still the World Record holders at the end of the day.'
Lucy Thomas-Clayton, from Southend Hospital Charitable Foundation, said: 'It takes a lot of nerve to take off all your clothes in front of complete strangers, plus the world's media - so we would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who was brave enough to bare all and raise such a huge amount of cash for our vitally important cause.'
