Skunk kicks up a stink at a Blackpool nightclub

A Blackpool nightclub had an unusual visitor at the weekend, when doormen let in a skunk.

The doormen spotted the animal on the street outside the resort's Mardi Gras club, in Talbot Road, in the early hours of Sunday.



At first they thought the black and white female was a squirrel, but on closer inspection realised it was a skunk, miles away from its natural habitat.

Manager Steve Philips said the skunk was now being cared for by the RSPCA.
