Footage shows a naked pedestrian, who wasn’t even wearing shoes, on the High Street in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire – and he casually walked past stunned shoppers
A man left onlookers shocked as he stepped out in a town centre completely naked this weekend.
Footage of the man in the nude was shared online on Saturday. The clip shows the naked pedestrian, who wasn’t even wearing shoes, on the High Street in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire. And, seemingly unfussed by his choice of outfit, he casually walked past shoppers near The Guild Hall.
Another video appeared to show the same man sprinting across a town centre roundabout despite having nothing on his feet. The incident was reported as temperatures hit around 24C in North Staffordshire yesterday. Sunday was another hot day in the area, as well as several other parts of the country. A scorching 31C is expected in the region tomorrow.

The Mirror has contacted Staffordshire Police for comment.
The latest incident, first reported by Stoke-on-Trent Live, of public nudity comes after a dancing man pulled a moonie at passing motorists in Meir, a suburb of Stoke-on-Trent, on June 20. The video showed a man sitting on the pavement wearing a cap and a shirt and with shorts exposing his bare backside.
He then clambered to his feet before pulling the moonie towards drivers. He was then assisted by a second man before performing a jig. It comes just days after Staffordshire
Meanwhile, police escorted a half-naked man out of a wooded area off Holst Drive in Birches Head last month. And a naked man was seen being “chased” by paramedics along the A500 in May.
This comes as a heatwave will serve the hottest ever start to Wimbledon, with temperatures due to hit 35C. Sunday may reach 31C in parts of southern England, but Monday will be even hotter, with highs of 34C in central and eastern England, forecasters say.
Since 1960, UK temperatures in June have surpassed 34C in only three years, with the hottest being 35.6C, recorded on June 28 1976. Parts of south-east England could then hit 35C on Tuesday, forecaster Matthew Lenhert said, which would be hotter than Barbados.
Wimbledon is set for its hottest opening day on record on Monday and could even see the highest temperature ever recorded during the tournament.
The hottest ever Wimbledon day was on July 1 2015, when temperatures reached 35.7C. The warmest opening day on record was on June 25 2001, when temperatures hit 29.3C.
The hottest day of 2025 so far was recorded on June 21 in Charlwood, Surrey, when temperatures hit 33.2C. Tropical nights are also in store for many, with temperatures overnight not dropping below 20C, Mr Lenhert said.
Fresher air is then expected to move in from the west in the middle of the week, bringing an end to the heatwave. It comes as a second amber heat health alert in two weeks came into force on Friday.
The alert, which covers London, the East Midlands, South East, South West and East of England, will last until 6pm on Tuesday.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) also issued a yellow alert for Yorkshire and Humber and the West Midlands for the same time period, with the agency warning of significant impacts across health and social care services.
An amber alert was previously issued for all regions in England on June 19, the first time it had been used since September 2023.
An official heatwave is recorded when areas reach a certain temperature for three consecutive days, with thresholds varying from 25C to 28C in different parts of the UK.
