UFC star Paddy Pimblett was among those left scared and worried after attending the Liverpool parade.

Pimblett is a Liverpool supporter and was among the estimated one million people who lined the streets on Monday to celebrate the club's Premier League title win, only to see the even overshadowed.

The joyous event was marred by a serious incident which saw 27 people injured.



A 53-year-old man was arrested after a car he was driving ploughed into fans on Water Street in the city centre.

Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live on Tuesday morning, Liverpool City Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram said there were "still four people who are very, very ill in hospital".

However, while he was not among those injured, his day turned sour when he heard about what had happened.

"Went the parade today amazing support as always for our reds nobody does celebrations and parades like us @liverpoolfc," Pimblett wrote on Instagram.

"Taking the babies [to] their first ever parade today was a memory I'll never forget the looks on their little faces looking at the spectacle and I'll have the pictures and videos to show them when they grow up.

"Still cannot believe what actually happened after it, day of celebration turned into a worry for everyone who was there or even knew anybody there, friends and family messaging to make sure that they are safe something that we shouldn't have to do or worry about.

"I hope anyone injured has a fast recovery and anyone affected already knows they have the full city supporting them, red or blue it doesn't matter.

"Yesterday is a complete contrast to the scene now, there is hardly anybody on the streets and yesterday there was up to one million people perhaps on these streets all with one thing in mind to show the football team that they love the admiration, the euphoria at winning the Premier League and watch their heroes go by and that's what happened to the large extent."
