She finished yesterday at Fareham fire station.

Justine posted on Twitter: ‘Day 366 thanks to blue watch @Fareham17 challenge complete.’

As reported, bewildered members of the public who’ve spotted her upside-down have given her funny looks – while some even ask her to do it again so their children can watch.

She previously said: ‘I’ve actually had people approach me asking “what is this about?”.

‘I had some funny looks but they’ve also asked me to do it again so their child can watch.

‘Some have said they want to give money.’
