A Scots mum has been left furious after her children were burned by 'toxic slime' at a popular Nickelodeon event.
Vivienne Hannah's two boys were left burned with welts from slime shot out cannons at Nickelodeon Slime Fest on Saturday evening.
The 43-year-old from Dunoon claims paramedics were called to the concert, at Blackpool Pleasure Beach Arena to attend to the young crowd.
Hoards of crying youngsters had to be wiped down, dressed in fresh clothes and given antihistamines in a bid to reduce burning from the green sludge.
Vivienne's children David McGavin, 12, and Hannah McGavin, 11 plus David's friend Arron MacKay, 11, are still being treated for burns today as they return to school after the October holidays .
Stay-at-home mum Vivienne told the Record: "I am absolutely raging about this.
"The medical centre at the arena was full of crying children being treated for burns.
"There's no excuse."
Vivienne travelled to Blackpool over the weekend with the three kids and Arron's mum Laura MacKay.
The event, featuring rapper Professor Green, dance troupe, Diversity, and sining duo, Max and Harvey saw crowds of youngsters covered in slime from cannons in the slime pit, while parents watched on in standing.
Vivienne added: "This is the third time I've been to Slime Fest with David and Hannah.
"Every year it's at a different city in England, we always go when it's in Blackpool.
"We've never had any issues before with the slime, none of the children have allergies.
"Usually the slime comes out of small tubes attached to the ceiling.
"This year it was bigger cannons all around the stage and at the level of their faces."
Half way through the gig, Vivienne noticed David and Arron looking a little concerned and disappearing to the crowd.
"I found the boys at the medical centre," Vivienne said.
"They had been wiped down and given new t-shirts plus antihistamies.
"Both boys were blotchy, red and their skin was really warm.
"There were at least another five or six kids there at that point.
"David is high functioning autistic so he was feeling really uncomfortable."
She added: "Soon after, Hannah was shot almost directly in face by one of the cannons.
"At the medical centre she was covered in welts and her skin was burning hot, as if she had sunburn, all down her back and chest."
Fuming, Vivienne sought out a Nickelodeon representative.
"The man Tony just said, 'We don't know what's in the slime we just know it's non-toxic'.
"How can they say that when crowds of kids are in tears, they've called in paramedics and they're all being given antihistamines?"
Tickets for the two adults and three children cost £95.
Between transport, bed and breakfast and costs to cover food and drink, the mums forked out over £500.
Event organisers sold out shows, on Saturday, Sunday and Monday with two shows each day.
The Record understands that both of today's shows are going ahead.
Nickelodeon have been contacted for comment.
