The Hypersonic Missiles rocker celebrated being followed on Twitter by Ant and Dec by re-creating PJ and Duncan's Byker Grove paintball scene.

Sam Fender is not only one of the most talented British artists out there at the moment, but he also seems to have the most craic.

The North Shields singer-songwriter was so chuffed to find out he'd been followed on Twitter by presenting duo Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly he decided to recreate one of the most famous scenes on UK TV.

Before Ant & Dec were winning NTA awards every year, they played PJ and Duncan in Byker Grove- a Geordie teen drama which centred around a Newcastle youth centre.

And the show's most famous scene featured the moment that PJ (played by Ant) went blind in a paintball accident.

Fender, being from the Toon himself, was so excited by his fellow Geordies giving him a follow, that he just decided to recreate the iconic TV moment with a bunch of his mates.

Watch the video above, which he shared on Twitter above, with the caption: "We made a video to honour the moment @antanddec followed me on Twitter!! #bykergrove #pjandduncan"

Legend!
