Visitors to a popular Lancashire tourist attraction were amazed to see Premier League legend Mohamed Salah rock up for an afternoon on the rides.

Salah, who has been in the form of his life for Liverpool this season, was caught on camera by a crowd of fans as he walked into the seaside park accompanied by his security team.

He was captured leaving the arcades, but it remains unclear whether he managed to win on the coin pusher.

Having already drawn in other stars like Wayne Rooney, the park has remained a top choice for the Premier League’s biggest names to spend a day out with their families.

The forward has registered 23 goals and 14 assists in just 25 matches this season as Liverpool chase the Premier League title.

One person commenting on the video on TikTok said: “That’s why he’s not signed a new contract, he wants to play for the Tangerines [Blackpool FC].”

Another added: “Salah at the illuminations wasn’t on the bingo card.”

Opened in 1896, Blackpool Pleasure Beach has been widely considered one of the best in the UK for thrill seekers.

With rides including The Big One, Valhalla, Icon and Infusion it has become an essential trip of any visit to Blackpool.

A 200-foot cylinder arrived earlier this week as part of the park's re-imagined Launch Pad ride, which aims to create higher pressure and build up kinetic energy.

It arrived after the offseason at the park, which runs between December and February, with the Nickelodeon Land area of the park open for the half term, with tickets priced at ÂŁ25 when booked online.
