CBS Philadelphia news anchor Jim Donovan's love of colorful socks earned him a Guinness World Record.

Donovan said his colorful socks were noticed by viewers during his time on the air, and fans began sending him new pairs to add to his collection — including some with his face on them.


"A lot of people have sent me socks over the years with my face on them - I know, it's a bit crazy," he told Guinness World Records.



He officially won the title to coincide with his retirement.

The Guinness Book of World Records confirmed that his collection includes 1,531 pairs of unique socks. /Telegraph/
