Nightclub owner Steve Stevens is nursing tired limbs after breaking a disco world record by dancing non-stop for more than five days.
Steve strained his right knee but managed to keep moving for 131 hours.
The 35-year-old set off on Tuesday last week and ended on Sunday at his club Angelik in Worthing, West Sussex.

Under rules set by Guinness World Records he was allowed a rest of five minutes every hour.
The former Ironman triathlete kept up his energy levels with a diet consisting of protein shakes, fruit, porridge, jacket potatoes, chips and lasagne, but still managed to lose a quarter of a stone over the five-day period.
Steve, who spent his time throwing shapes to dance music played by a team of 30 DJs, said: 'The hardest times were between 4am and 6am, when people were shouting at me to wake up.
'But as soon as the sun came up it got me going again.'
He beat the previous world record, 123 hours and 15 minutes, and raised £3,200 for hospices in Sheffield and Angmering, West Sussex.

Nightclub owner Steve Stevens breaks world's longest disco dance record In a remarkable feat, nightclub owner Steve Stevens successfully broke the world record for the longest non-stop disco dance, lasting an astonishing 131 hours. Starting on a Tuesday and concluding the following Sunday at his club, Angelik, in Worthing, West Sussex, Stevens displayed extraordinary stamina and determination. During this marathon dance, Steve was allowed a mere five-minute break every hour, which he managed to utilize efficiently, often while consuming protein shakes, fruits, and various other foods to maintain his energy levels. Even with such a robust diet, he still ended up losing around 15 pounds over the five-day stretch. Steve, a former Ironman triathlete, mentioned that the challenging hours for him were from 4 AM to 6 AM, when fatigue began to set in, but the motivation returned swiftly with the morning light. Notably, his dance marathon wasn't just for personal glory; he raised £3,200 for hospices in Sheffield and Angmering, West Sussex, highlighting a charitable element to his record-breaking attempt. With music provided by a rotating team of 30 DJs, Steve's dedication to the cause was palpable. After the successful conclusion of his endeavor, which surpassed the previous record by nearly eight hours, he expressed gratitude for the support he received and the significance of the cause behind his challenge. The event was recorded and viewers can catch the highlights in the video titled "World Record Dance Marathon - Final Cut" available on YouTube, showcasing not only his incredible dance moves but also the supportive atmosphere from fans and friends who rallied around him during this exceptional achievement.
