POP IDOLS McFly gave a Horsham fan the surprise of her life when they visited her home as part of a bizarre national TV hoax.

The global superstars dressed up as workmen and pretended to fix water pipes outside Horsham teenager Justine Thompson's home as part of the GMTV wind-up.

Justine – who has McFly posters plastering her bedroom wall and has tickets for three McFly concerts over the summer – said she was very embarrassed when she realised drummer Harry had been sat in her front room watching cricket with her dad.

"I just couldn't believe it," Justine, aged 16, said.

"The workmen outside my door were McFly and I had been getting so annoyed with them asking me for cups of tea and using our toilet."

Justine set up the practical joke for her dad, Trevor, who teases her for her McFly obsession by calling the band McFlurry.

But little did the former Millais School student know when mum Pam took her shopping in Crawley on Monday June 30 that the tables had been turned on her and that GMTV presenter and former Dancing on Ice star Michael Underwood was at her home in Stirling Way hiding cameras in trees, a CD player, a broom and a spatula in the kitchen.

Justine's McFly experience was shown on GMTV's Richard Arnold Weekend Wind-Up on Friday July 11.
