Best man's video stunt steals the show at wedding


Former Everton footballer Jamie Milligan couldn't hold back the laughter when his best man created an elaborate video stunt to entertain guests at his wedding.

Danny McKenzie stole the show at the wedding in Blackpool when he pretended to have forgotten his speech notes before dashing out of the room to ‘fetch them’. As Danny left a video continued to run on a big screen showing his ‘quest’ to retrieve the missing notes.

The slickly-made video had the guests crying with laughter as Danny chases across fields, flees a kidnapper, pulls up with cramp and enjoys a quick pint at the pub.

After racing home and suffering a washing machine-related mishap, Danny grabs his notes and catches a taxi back to The Villa where, wearing Jamie’s slightly-too-small football kit, he is greeted to a standing ovation.

The adventure took almost five days for Danny to film with the help of his brother Liam.

Hayleigh has THE best job in the world

Lucky lady Hayleigh Curtis is a chocolate scientist for Cadbury’s and her employer has just insured her taste buds for £1million. 

This means Hayleigh will now need to avoid sword swallowing, eating Fugu fish and chilli peppers with a Scoville heat rating of greater than 350,000, which could compromise her taste buds and render the insurance void.

Hayleigh is part of the Cadbury Innovation team of 300, based in the innovation kitchen at Bourneville in Birmingham, the home of Cadbury. The team is responsible for the creation and development of every new chocolate product created.

I wish I’d focused more on those sciences at school…
