Spudman's son brings his famous loaded jacket potatoes to Northampton university students
Thousands of students enjoyed a special Freshers' Week treat when the son of viral TikTok sensation Spudman brought his famous loaded jacket potatoes to Northampton.
Dylan Newman, better known online as L1LSPUD, visited the University of Northampton on Wednesday, September 23, for a special Welcome Week takeover.
The social media star teamed up with London Northwestern Railway (LNR) for the event, which featured free food, games, competitions and giveaways.
Students queued for Dylan's loaded jacket potatoes, with 75 free spuds handed out during the day.
There was also an opportunity to win a Student Season Ticket for the following term, offering savings of up to 50 per cent on rail travel.
Dylan said: "I honestly loved every moment of the event. It was an amazing day, and the atmosphere throughout was brilliant.
"As the day went on, it was fantastic to see so many people getting involved, with some really good queues forming and plenty of interest in what we were doing."
The event also saw the number of students signing up to LNR's student mailing list double.
The railway company organised the takeover to encourage students to explore affordable rail travel, whether returning home, visiting friends or discovering new destinations.
Dylan added: "Overall, it was a brilliant experience, and I'm really pleased with how the day went."
