A Morecambe cafe and pizza takeaway have been visited by a food critic who is taking Tik Tok by storm.
Food Review Club, whose clips have more than half a million followers on the popular global video sharing platform, popped in to Rita's Cafe and Gizmo's pizzeria in the town.
Host Matt Davies-Binge visits food and drink premises all over the UK and gives them a score out of 10. The videos are filmed and posted on the Food Review Club's various digital channels and have proved to be a massive hit.
Matt, from Cambridge, said he'd chosen Morecambe because he is a huge fan of Tyson Fury, the world heavyweight boxing champion who lives in the town.
He popped to Rita's Cafe and raved about the fact he bought fish and chips, home-made trifle and two drinks, and still had "change from a tenner".

"We came to Rita's, heard it was the best caff," he said.
"It looked a bit dated from the outside but the closer you looked, the better it got. Memorabilia, Man United, all over the walls.
"Fish and chips, a fiver. That's what it's all about.
"Crunchy on the outside, super fluffy on the inside.
"Rita's Caff. Everything I wanted it to be and so much more.
"Great hard working honest people, something the world and the country needs more of."
Matt scored Rita's 7.2 out of 10.
Lynn Turner, who runs the cafe on Marine Road Central, also appeared in the video (see below).
During his video at Rita's, Davies-Binge issued an open invitation to Tyson Fury to take him to "the best places for food in Morecambe" and do a review with him!
He also gave a shout out to Holly and Ang from the Festival Market for "stopping us getting lost, twice".
At Gizmo's on Albert Road in the West End, Davies-Binge said he'd found "the cheapest pizza I've ever had in 2,000 odd reviews", having paid £2.85 on a Tuesday during Happy Hour.

While filming the video, locals passing by proclaimed Gizmo's as having "the best pizza in town" and said "it's like this all the time with huge queues".
Matt was less convinced and got a young girl who was outside the shop, called Anna, to taste his pizza.
She said it was "10 out of 10"!
Trying it himself, the host said: "The dough is super soft. There is a bit of flavour to the sauce. It's red hot. Love it. For the money it's not bad at all. Feeding a family out here, I'm all for it.
"They're a really busy shop. A lot of people who enjoy this type of scran.
"It's not fancy, neither is it trying to be. It's mega value. It is what it is."
He scored it a "price-considered" 5.3 out of 10.
Earlier this year, Food Review Club also visited The Stone Jetty Cafe, Selekt Chicken and Susan's Pies in Morecambe.
