Glum Oompa Loompa from failed Willy Wonka event is unrecognisable as she lands new role

Glum Oompa Loompa from failed Willy Wonka event is unrecognisable as she lands new role Kirsty Paterson went viral on social media following her miserable persona at a Willy Wonka experience in Glasgow - and now she's enjoying an incredible new life on the other side of the world A Scottish woman who became an internet meme when she was pictured looking miserable while dressed as an Oompa Loompa at a disastrous Willy Wonka event now looks worlds away from her viral moment.

Actress Kirsty Paterson, 31, became known worldwide as the 'sad Oompa Loompa' after being snapped with a glum-looking appearance at the notorious Glasgow extravaganza. The Wonka experience, which was a far cry from the film of the same name, was set in a bleak, largely undecorated site, and left families bewildered as Oompa Loompas handed out a jelly bean and a quarter of a cup of lemonade to each youngster. Snaps of Kirsty later emerged online as she stood hunched over in a basic costume, pulling a sad expression. Despite her embarrassing moment, the incident appeared to work in her favour, as she is now being booked on a regular basis after relocating to Melbourne, Australia.
