Denny Boys enjoying stardom after Last Christmas doorbell video

They are the viral superstars whose message of Christmas joy has been watched around the world.

The 'Denny Boys' are enjoying their brush with fame after a video of them singing the Wham! classic Last Christmas into a neighbour's video doorbell was viewed millions of times online.

Schoolboys Jack Campbell, Dylan Thompson, Cameron Bourne, Liam McPhillips, and Ollie Shearer have since performed on ITV's This Morning and launched their own singing competition with Ring doorbells.

But the five have not let their new celebrity status go to their heads after taking time out to put on a special show for staff and patients at a local hospice.

The boys went viral after the video of them singing at Erin Chalmers' door in Denny, Falkirk was posted on TikTok.

Erin was not in at the time, but the boys left a recorded message belting out the Wham! hit into the Ring doorbell camera to get them "in the Christmas spirit".

Erin posted it on the social media site and it quickly amassed more than a million views in a matter of days.

The five, christened the "Denny Boys," later appeared on the ITV morning show, where they were interviewed by hosts Ben Shepherd and Cat Deeley.

They also crossed paths with the likes of Lorraine Kelly and David Walliams on the trip to the studios in London.

Dylan, 10, described it as an "unreal experience".

"Everyone we have met has been really nice and really down to earth," he told BBC Scotland News.

Strathcarron Hospice in Denny was delighted to welcome the boys to visit patients and perform on the wards to spread a little Christmas cheer.

Staff at the facility – which provides end-of-life care for those with terminal illnesses – said they were "uplifted" by their appearance.

The boys said they were desperate to make sure they gave patients a Christmas to remember.

"It was sad. I was really emotional, but we felt good that we made the right people happy," Dylan told BBC Radio Scotland Breakfast.

"It could be their last Christmas, so we want to make it their best one."

Ring, which is owned by Amazon, has set up the "#RingandSing" campaign in the boys' honour, challenging users to record themselves singing a Christmas classic of their own.

For every video shared, the company has pledged to donate £10 to the hospice.

Strathcarron CEO Mags McCarthy said: "It has just brought so much joy.

"It has blown us up so much, the fact they came up to Strathcarron. We've seen the comments on social media, people asking how they can donate, I think it is fantastic that it is because of these five wee boys.

"It is a hard time of year for a lot of families, there's never a good time to deal with this, so I think the opportunity to have these moments just helps to uplift us, the families the patients."

Having conquered their corner of Falkirk, the boys now have their sights set on an even bigger goal.

"We want to try and go to Christmas number one and get a Christmas advert," they said.

"With Last Christmas, obviously. Every Christmas, number one."
