ENGLAND football star Jude Bellingham has visited the Forest of Dean Lucozade and Ribena factory to learn about the new drink he co-created.

As part of the visit to the Suntory Beverage and Food GB&I factory in Coleford, the Real Madrid player was given an insight into the production process of the new Lucozade Sport Ice Kick.

During the tour, Jude had the chance to meet many of the locally based team, where the star discussed his career as well as his multi-year partnership with Lucozade, which is a longstanding partner of the FA.

As part of his collaboration with the UK’s number one sports drink, Jude starred in a video promoting the new flavour, which saw the midfielder smash a giant block of ice with a powerful volley, revealing the new ‘Ice Kick’ drink.

It is coming up to the first year of Jude Bellingham’s partnership with Lucozade which has seen the talented footballer feature in a television advert which aired in May last year as part of the brand’s new “Bring The Energy” campaign.

“It was amazing to get a behind-the-scenes tour of the factory and meet the people involved in the production of Ice Kick, as well as seeing my face on the side of the bottle!” he said.

“I really enjoyed helping to co-create the new flavour and look forward to continuing this special partnership with Lucozade.”

Karl Ottomar, of Suntory Beverage & Food GB&I, said: “We loved showing Jude around our factory, meeting our incredible team, and allowing him to see first-hand the brilliant work that goes into making an iconic drink like Lucozade Sport. “

“The site has been buzzing with excitement all morning and it’s another brilliant opportunity to celebrate this fantastic new partnership and launch of a very exciting new drink.”.
