My ex & I went on 'awkward' trip to Blackpool after we split but strangers helped us get back togeth

A COUPLE who went on a getaway after breaking up got back together when strangers got them plastered at a Wetherspoons.

Lottie Camm, 18, and Trystan Bithell, 21, had booked the trip to Blackpool before their 18-month relationship ended in October after “drifting apart”.

A reunion was “completely off the cards” but, unable to get a refund, they decided to go on the “awkward” jaunt as pals — with carpenter Trystan kipping on the sofa in their hotel room.

Then at The Albert and The Lion pub, Lottie put a message in the Wetherspoons Facebook group — where users share a photo, location and table number and wait to see if anyone buys them a drink.

Realising they were exes, romantics on social media inundated them with comments urging them to reunite — and sent £110 worth of booze including six pitchers of Sex On The Beach.

The flame was relit and Lottie, of Wrexham, said: “I definitely credit them with helping us get back.”

Trystan said: “I was secretly hoping to woo her back.

"I saw Wetherspoons as the turning point.”

One stranger who bought them a drink posted: "I'm strangely invested in the outcome. Shots on the way."

Another wrote: "After tonight you'll either hate each other or love each other again.”

Wetherspoon spokesman Eddie Gershon said: “It is heartwarming that random strangers purchased drinks for the couple.”
