Everyone loves an amazing dessert and people with a sweet tooth across the UK are waiting in their hundreds for Welsh ice cream van man Tee Smith to come to their town and serve his eye-popping sweet treats.

Four years ago, Tee Smith gave up his takeaway business and decided to take over the family business - running ice cream vans.

Now the 40-year-old, who trades under Mr Tee and is from Wrexham has almost 250,000 followers on Facebook and Instagram and sees people queuing for hours to pick up one of his desserts.

Tee's family have owned ice cream vans for decades and even produce their own ice cream. When takeaway owner Tee fancied a change from the world of pizzas he decided to sell funky desserts from the back of his ice cream van and post them on social media.

"My takeaway was successful and I had been running them for years but the recession hit me hard," he said.

"I decided to take over the family business and because I'm quite savvy I started thinking of different ideas.

"The night before my daughter was born, I thought of making cookie doughs and waffles from the van, I posted it on social media and it went crazy."

He has six vans and it is a family run business.

There are over 65 different types of ice cream trays you can purchase, along with cakes, and their family's special recipe ice cream.

The flavours range from banoffee pie, chocolate Oreo and Lindt waffles, each loaded with signature sauces and a variety of sprinkles and sweets.

Mr Tee said: "It's not commercial ice cream, it's made using our own recipes and that's why people love it, that's why people are happy to queue for hours.

"I serve my customers with a smile, on certain nights I'll have taken over 100 selfies with customers. I'm passionate about what I do, I don't do it for money.

"In Cardiff we have been shown so much love by people, everyone has been so nice I can't thank them enough."

The longest someone has queued is four hours and on average people will queue for at least an hour.

An ice cream tub costs £5, and sundae bowls and cones costs £1.50.

Mr Tee announces which part of the country he'll be visiting on his Facebook page, on the same day.

He is unable to take bookings as they are fully booked until September.

He added: "We have visited around 250 towns across the country and we hope to continue growing.

"For us next we are working with high street retailers to sell our own ice cream flavours."

Mr Tee will be coming to Cardiff on Saturday, May 4.
