A star from the botched Willy Wonka experience in Glasgow has said it feels amazing to see a portrait of herself unveiled today.
Actress Kirsty Paterson went viral after playing the part of an Oompa Loompa in the House of Illuminati event, which took place earlier this year.
Kirsty told the Glasgow Times: “At the start, I didn’t expect the event to go as viral as it did. I didn’t understand it and I didn’t take that well, as no one would.“I tried my best at the event and I’m just lucky the way it worked out for me.” “If three months ago someone said to me that my picture was going to be in the GoMA, I wouldn't have believed it. It's amazing.”
