The creation, which is open to adults only, is said to bring elements of the new offering to life. It is comprised of hundreds of pink and green blocks that represent raspberry and lime jelly, and its walls emit a raspberry jelly smell.

The Bouncinhgam Castle opens to the public at 10am today (3 March) where it will remain until 6pm on Saturday (5 March).

Andreas Olofsson, lead producer, Candy Crush Jelly Saga said: "This is the perfect setting to bring the new competitive play of Candy Crush Jelly Saga to life as we give the public a chance to show their best moves, bounce and reign supreme over the new in-game opponent, The Jelly Queen. A fitting celebration that embodies the excitement and fun that we aim to achieve in our games."

Dixon added: "I’ve bounced around on the dancefloor a fair few times, but nothing quite like this. I’m already a big fan of the game, so it’s great to be here to bring the fun and competition of Candy Crush Jelly Saga to life for the British public. I hope everyone who visits has as much fun bouncing as they do playing the game!"
