My crazy journey into The Unknown

Felicia says flop event worked out for her

- AISLING GRACE

THE teenager who became a B viral star at a botched Willy Wonka event has looked back on her "crazy" year as she gets ready to finish shool and pursue an acting career

Felicia Dawkins, 17, captivated the internet as The Unknown, one of many characters - including Oompa Loompas renamed Wonkidoodles - from February's disastrous Willy's Chocolate Experience in Glasgow.

The unlicensed nod to Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory went viral and was P featured on CNN and the New York Times, after what was advertised as an immersive experience was a sparsely-decorated flop.

Felicia's silver-masked protagonist, an evil rival chocolate maker to the event's Willy Wonka rebrand Willy McDuff, was said to live inside walls and appeared from behind a mirror to terrify visitors.

Visitors paid up to £35 a ticket for a sweetie-themed wonderland but disappointed kids and parents were presented with inadequate props, half a cup of lemonade and a ration of jellybeans.
