Mum spends weeks waking up at 6am to bag bottle of influencers' Prime energy drink

A mum who spent weeks waking up at 6am to try and buy the sell-out Prime energy drink says she finally managed to bag a bottle - and surprised her daughter in a sweet video.

Lisa Smith, 42, had been trying to find a bottle of Prime - a hit new business venture from social influencers KSI and Logan Paul - for her daughter Jessie, nine.

Demand for the £2 drink has been exceptionally high among teenagers, with reports of bottles being listed on eBay for £10k.

For three weeks Lisa left her home early to drive to her local Asda in Huyton, Liverpool in a bid to secure a bottle, but without success.

However, the mum-of-two eventually struck lucky and managed to buy a few bottles as they were being restocked at 6:45am.

She then surprised a delighted Jessie by blindfolding her and making her guess what the object in her hands was.

Lisa said: "I wanted to make it a big deal - I wanted to shock her. It's what you do for your kids. I was just beaming with pride with the way she reacted.

"She'd given up looking - she said she was going to put it on her list for Santa!"

Lisa wasn't alone in her mission to secure the energy drink, with husband Stuart, 40, also lending a hand.

And Jessie had no idea her mum was planning to surprise her with the drink - with her happiness clearly visible in the video.

Lisa said: "She just thought I was going to work. She never knew that I was going to get them.

"I was always going to surprise her with them."

KSI has since tweeted about Lisa's surprise for Jessie - saying: "This is honestly one of the cutest things I've ever seen."

Lisa said: "I found out that KSI had tweeted about it, and I can't wait to tell Jessie about that too!"
