A tourist left “kids screaming” after unveiling his hilarious tanning fail on the beach this week.
Lewis Blackburn was enjoying a trip to Newquay, Cornwall, with his wife Lisa when he decided to go for a paddle – forgetting that the tan on his legs didn’t match his pasty feet.
Clad in work boots during the week, the tradesman’s trotters haven’t seen the light of day all summer, while his legs are bronzed from wearing shorts.

Pictures of the summer fail went viral on Facebook, racking up 16,000 likes and leaving viewers in hysterics.
“I work outdoors so my legs, arms, neck and face are always exposed to the sun – just not my bare feet, hence the whiteness of them,” Lewis, from Northampton, told What’s The Jam.
He shared the picture on Facebook, writing: “Second day into our Cornish holiday, staying near Bodmin, [we] decided today would be a beach day in Newquay.
“I decided to go for a paddle in the sea with my kids, so I duly removed my footwear to expose the brightest, whitest feet on the beach.
“Kids ran screaming, the elderly unable to run or turn away are blinded by the glare… it wasn’t until I’d seen these photos [that I realised why].”
