A Northern Ireland police safety warning ahead of a festival has become a huge success - but not for the reasons the force may have hoped.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland shared advice on Facebook on enjoying this weekend's Tennent's Vital festival in Belfast.

It includes tips on parking and warns festival-goers to drink responsibly.

But, looking at the comments from users on the page, no-one was really looking at that bit.

The vast majority of the likes (2,500), comments (1,500) and shares (684) are mostly about the appearance of Superintendent Bobby Singleton.

He is the face of the police at the festival and that face has become a huge hit with men and women alike.

The Facebook post has led to threats of criminal activity in Northern Ireland, just to catch the officer's attention.

"I feel I speak for a large percentage of the female population in NI when I say, if more police officers looked like that - I'd find a new rule to break every weekend... And three on a bank holiday," says one woman.

"Seriously are they trying to encourage women to try and get arrested," said another.

One man found the officer so handsome, he says he may be questioning his sexuality.

"I like to think I'm straight, but even I looked at that picture and thought 'Jesus, he's handsome!'" he wrote.

Among the comments, there were also questions about access to the festival and road closures, so some people were able to see beyond 'Constable Hotstuff' as he's being called on the thread.

Newsbeat has contacted the Police Service of Northern Ireland but Superintendent Bobby Singleton is not currently commenting on his newfound popularity.
