Football fans gathered at a Coleford factory this March 2025, to catch a glimpse of England player, Jude Bellingham, as he visited a Forest of Dean-based factory.

News of the Real Madrid midfielder's appearance spread fast, with Jude taking time to meet and take photos with eager footie lovers outside Suntory.

Jude Bellingham stopped to meet and take photos with fans outside the factory, including nine-year-old schoolboys Alfie and Max.

And this isn't the first time a sports hall-of-famer has graced the Forest of Dean factory's floors, as previous guests have included heavyweight Olympic boxer Anthony Joshua, too.

The Suntory Beverage and Food GB&I factory in Coleford, formerly known as Beechams, is the UK's third largest branded soft drinks supplier, producing some of the nation's favourites, from Lucozade to Ribena.

Jude's visit to the factory is part of his partnership with Lucozade Sport, which saw him launch his brand-new product, Ice Kick.

While Suntory have UK factories in London and Dublin, as well as across the globe, Ice Kick is only being produced in Coleford.

The drink features the England central midfielder on the label and features a new blend of citrus flavours, designed to power upcoming summer sporting sessions.
