He opened up in a documentary about the botched event on Channel 5 - Wonka: The Scandal That Rocked Britain - stating that his life has been 'ruined' by the event.
Glasgow's Willy Wonka chocolate experience was the brain-child of Billy Coull, who has spoken out about the negative impact it has had on his life.
During the documentary, Billy Coull, who was the director of the company behind the 'immersive event', said he is not a scam artist and the event has 'ruined his life'.He then went on to say he has had hundreds of messages of hate, with people even telling him to 'kill himself'. He added: "It's not a nice feeling to be under the microscope.
"I have gone through the transactions individually, they are still ongoing, if people haven't received a refund, I have gone through many emails and said to people if you've not had your refund, contact your bank as they may have processes in place to be able to help it. I genuinely done what I can."Billy added: "Because of everything that had happened it ran into my personal life, I have lost my friends and the love of my life. I was made out to be the face of all evil.
He went on to say that projector equipment to make a 'fully immersive space' didn't arrive, leaving him gutted, however he still wanted to 'push on' and make it work.
