DAREDEVIL News Shopper reporter Dan Keel will be back in action next week when he takes on his ninth challenge.
This month he will be paid a visit by the vice-president of the Magic Circle, Jack Delvin, who will put Dan in a guillotine and chop his head off.
Speaking before his anticipated arrival at Shopper towers, Mr Delvin said: "Dan is actually quite lucky. In the old days he could have been burnt at the stake instead of beheaded.
"But of course people back then were given the choice - steak or chop."
Dan has so far passed five of his eight dares while failing three - including last month's pathetic attempt at solving a Rubik's cube.
