A bloke voted the ugliest person in Zimbabwe has died on the toilet.
Maison Sere was just 51 on the fateful day he went to the bathroom to relieve himself, only to die in the middle of the act. The news will come as a shock to fans around the world, who grew to know and love Sere after he won a Mr Ugly pageant back in 2015.
After he bagged the title – and the £500 prize that comes with it – Sere blew off steam at a party with more than 200 guests, where he told them: "I want to thank God for winning this title, last time I came fourth. I just want to thank the judges for recognising me as the winner."

Despite this, Sere's win wasn't without controversy. Rivals thought he was too good-looking to have scooped the coveted accolade and suspected he had only nabbed the award as his front teeth were missing.
But despite adversity, the plain-looking bloke went on to win three more times, pocketing a cash prize each time.
The sum goes a lot further in Zimbabwe than it would in the UK, and Sere sadly developed a problem with substance abuse following the four victories. His pal, Danny, said he reckoned Sere's death was likely linked to the alcohol and drugs he consumed following the wins, but this has not been officially confirmed.

Danny added when Sere's cash ran out he would visit other people's funerals – and even camp out for days on end – so he could take advantage of the free booze being served at wakes. "He would move around looking for houses where people are gathered for funerals," Danny said.
"There was no funeral gathering around Mabvuku which he didn't attend just for beer only. He would spend more than three days camped at a funeral."
The Mr Ugly pageant was set up in 2012. Show organiser David Machowa said he created it to celebrate the "beauty in ugliness."
