THIS is the moment an internet prankster fulfilled his dream of swimming in the feature pool in Trafford Centre’s food court.
Many a shopper has imagined taking a dip in The Orient’s marine style pool whilst chomping on a burger or sub – with no intentions of following through.
But Lancashire lad Lewis Ellis has gone where no man has gone before.
Egged on by friends, Lewis – who has launched a Youtube vlogging channel LostBoyLewis – made a quick change into trunks, goggles and a life-jacket and dove into the pool.
His friends were nearby to catch the stunt on camera and it was not long before a submerged Lewis caught the attentions of security guards.
The coy guards ordered Lewis out of the pool but were kind enough to offer a towel to the dripping, half-naked prankster before escorting him away.
