Harvey said: “I had two pints before I went and got the photo done because I had so much adrenaline and there were around 20 people in the queue watching me.

“I asked if I could put my spaghetti colander on my head.

“The shop assistant looked very concerned then told me I could get a fine if I don’t have it on when driving — I thought it was a fair trade.

“My fiancée thought it was hilarious, my dad was speechless and my mum doesn’t know yet.”

Harvey, originally from Eastbourne, East Sussex, but now living in New Zealand, said: “I like to think people can see the humour in it.

“My friends and family certainly do, and I hope the Pastafarian community will welcome it with open arms.”
