Shoppers in Worcester were given a fright as a bush jumped into life.

Those unfortunate to get too close to an unassuming plant pot couldn’t help but let out screams, leaving the crowds on High Street in stitches.

It isn’t yet clear who, or what, was under the shrubbery on Saturday (April 22) but it appears to be a popular prank on Tik Tok.

Several accounts doing similar things have had success on the social media platform, including Alvin hub, whose videos have 1.5 million likes, and UK BUSHMAN, who has racked up 1.9 million likes and nearly 180,000 followers.

The most famous account on Tik Tok however is Joe the Texas Bushman, who has 2.5 million followers and almost 40 million likes.
