It's the event that literally got the whole world talking - and now even A-lister celebrities are getting involved. The Glasgow Willy Wonka Experience is still big news across the globe, one week on.
Last Saturday, the disastrous event took place at a warehouse in the city and hundreds of families forked out £35 each to attend.
The advert from organisers House of Illuminati promised a family-day out with a "paradise of sweet treats" and an "enchanted garden containing giant sweets and mysterious sculptures". It also advertised an "imagination lab with mind-expanding projections and optical marvels".
However, the event didn't go according to plan, and the police were even called as families turned up to an 'almost empty' warehouse - which left children in tears.
One photograph of Scots actress Kirsty Paterson portraying an Oompa Loompa went viral following the disastrous day, as many said it looked more like the 'meth lab' from hit show Breaking Bad than Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.
And it has even grabbed the attention of Hollywood A-lister and former supermodel Chrissy Teigen, who begged Kirsty to cash in on the experience.
Chrissy, who is married to All of Me singer John Legend, took to Instagram to campaign for Kirsty to get set up on Cameo, which is a video sharing platform where creators make money by selling personalised messages.
She said: "Somebody get the Wonka meth lab girl on Cameo immediately while it's still hot. I need a Cameo!"
Resharing Chrissy's video, Kirsty penned: "Thanks to @Chrissy Teigen I am now on Cameo. What a woman. Link in my bio."

The actress then went on to say that she wants to turn the situation into a "positive" one.
She said: "I just want to say thanks
