This was the moment a "super dad" rescued his daughter after she got stuck on a waterslide.
Andrew Jackson, 38, and his partner Emma Reece, 41, who live in Rainhill, decided to take their daughter to Gulliver's World in Warrington on Saturday, June 10, to celebrate her sixth birthday. Sienna decided to go on the Togo Tower - a waterslide where a person sits in a dinghy and goes down a blue slide.
But Sienna suddenly got stuck half way down the ride, just before the bump. Emma called for help before dad Andrew decided to take matters into his own hand and stepped in to save the day.
Speaking to the ECHO, Emma said: "I could see Sienna had started to cry and getting panicked. Andrew said 'I'm going to have to walk up there and get her".

In the clip, Andrew can be seen using his best "Spiderman" skills to go and rescue his daughter. The 38-year-old grips the sides of the waterslide and places his feet on the edge to avoid the water.
Emma can be heard laughing in the video as Andrew climbs up the vertical part of the slide. People can be heard cheering as Andrew reaches the dinghy.
Andrew then brings the dinghy forward slightly so it tips over the edge of the bump to try and un-wedge it. After a little struggle, the boat becomes free.
However, Andrew has to use his feet to get the boat moving but eventually Andrew and Sienna make it safely down the slide to cheers from people watching the dad and daughter. Emma can also be heard cheering when they reach the bottom.
She added: "There was cheering from the top and bottom".
Emma shared the video where it has gone viral with 4.7 million views. News stations around the world also shared the clip of Andrew rescuing Sienna, including American news sites CNN and Fox News.
Six-year-old Sienna told the ECHO she was "happy" when her dad managed to rescue her and agreed he was "super dad".
