McFly serve up show twist

Wednesday 22nd April 2009, 11:30AM BST.

Pop princes McFly stormed into Wolverhampton for the start of their latest UK tour – and ordered a pizza to be delivered onto the stage.

The delivery man got the shock of his life when he took an order for an extra large Texan barbecue chicken from the Civic Hall and ended up in front of nearly 2,000 screaming fans.

The moment of fame for the worker, known only as VJ, came at the launch of the band’s small venues tour last night when guitarist Dougie Poynter decided to order a pizza on his mobile in the middle of their set. Staff at Domino’s in Newbridge were requested to deliver the takeaway snack to the stage door ASAP.

Exactly 24 minutes later, an unsuspecting VJ was escorted on to the set and into the glare of the spotlight to a crowd chanting his name. After he had made his exit, two members of the audience were invited on to the stage to devour the pizza.
