Phil played along with the confusion, blowing kisses, high-fiving fans and posing for pictures as the crowd followed him through the venue.

His daughter Niamh Mansford, 23, shared the viral video online.

Niamh, a beauty therapist from Chicksands in Bedfordshire, said: “It was mad. He was a bit shocked to begin with but then he thought ‘You know what this is brilliant’ and just went with it. Everyone was cheering him through the O2.”
