It’s been more than 10 years since a video of a wide-eyed northerner who enjoyed himself a little too much at a Preston night club went viral.

Shaun Jackson, then some 40 years old, was captured in promotional footage for the Rumes bar in 2014 smiling and cutting shapes on the dance floor.

The rest is history, as the clip soon amassed hundreds of thousands of views – also catapulting the obscure night club where he raved the night away into international fame.

Mr Jackson, from Chorley, was dubbed “rave gurner guy” – though amusingly, he explained he had no idea the video had blown up on social media before going to work the following week.

One of the overnight sensation’s most recent public appearances was on an episode of the Flexxed podcast in 2019.

There, he gave an interview re-living the encounter with his boss Danny – also a ‘mate’ – who came up to him and said ‘Oh my god you had a good night Saturday night didn’t you?’

The former boxer also previously told BuzzFeed he was delighted with his fame and while on a weekend shopping trip ‘everyone started clapping and cheering’.

But years later – does that still stand? And is Mr Jackson still up for a ‘good Saturday night’?

Mr Jackson uploaded a picture in January 2022 of him in Benidorm – though when asked when he’d visited, he said the snap was from last year

In his most recent Instagram post – dated August 2023 – Mr Jackson poses shirtless with his tongue stuck out during a trip to Ibiza. 

A video of bright blue flashing lights from the holiday suggests the partygoer has been still going strong up to this point.

Since then, Mr Jackson has uploaded elsewhere – on his TikTok – the latest video being a bizarre clip captioned ‘on my wedding day’, from May 2024.

In it, the Chorley local, wears what appears to be a teal-coloured dress as he gestures over at a woman dressed in a white gown, who initially has her back turned to the camera.

The video has elicited comments such as ‘you are too funny! love it!’ and ‘still going strong’.

There are number of videos also posted by Mr Jackson from 2023 where he makes expressive faces at the camera and, in his job as a plasterer, shows off some of construction work.

Though, in a sweet clip captioned ‘day in the park with the grandkids’, he waves his arms about before a grandson spins him round and round in the park play area, with the northerner growing increasingly red.

In his 2019 interview with Flexxed, Mr Jackson previously revealed he’d gone out with ‘three-quarters of a bottle of Vodka already down by neck and then three or four drags of real good MD (MDMA)’.

Mr Jackson previously said his only regrets were there had been not one filming when things got wilder as the night went on

He also made headlines in 2022, when spotted at the Glastonbury Music festival and even had an action figure made in his honor that same year.
