‘Angry families turned up to find me dressed as Willy Wonka’

Mr Connell told BBC Radio’s Good Morning Scotland programme: “It was very disappointing to see how many people turned up at this event and found basically me dressed up as Willy Wonka in a half-abandoned warehouse.

“It was not what I was expecting.

“I was offered the part on the Thursday, given 15 pages of AI generated gibberish to learn and then obviously turned up and saw what it was.”

The event was held at Box Hub in Whiteinch, Glasgow.

The venue was not responsible for the event, it only hired out the space.

Glasgow City Council said its Trading Standards department had received one complaint about the event.
