A Colchester man who goes by the name ‘the Gimp Man of Essex’ has criticised his Somerset doppelganger for giving the “whole gimp community a bad reputation”. The social media personality is well-known in his local area where he is seen doing his weekly shop in Tesco, clad head-to-toe in black latex.
Under the handle @GimpManofEssex, he even posted images of his travels and shared them with surprised bystanders on social media. He has been visiting his village harmlessly for the past nine years the Mirror reports. He has to appear as “normal as possible” when he is out, but other gimps haven’t always abided by the same standards.
