Overview

• Kirsty Paterson, who went viral as an Oompa Loompa from the botched Glasgow Willy Wonka event, says she has moved from the UK to Melbourne and is busy with new roles.
• She reports recent stage and screen work and teases a documentary release following a year of media appearances, including The Last Leg’s New Year’s Eve show.
• Producer Richard Kraft’s Fringe show, Willy’s Candy Spectacular, featured Paterson, and discussions continue about developing it for potential West End or Broadway runs.
• Paterson alleges she was promised £500 for the original two-day gig but received £200, a claim reported publicly that has not been legally resolved.
• The Glasgow event drew widespread criticism after families paying about £35 said children received a single jelly bean and a small cup of lemonade.
