‘I didn’t want to wait too long. Craig’s a busy man so I said, “I’ve got a song ready.”
Craig continued talking about “if you become friends, it’s a real win,” and Wes responded, “Oh wow, Craig just said he’s my friend.”

Lorraine then challenged Craig and Wes to a round of blind karaoke. Wes watched helplessly as Craig sang Kylie’s lyrics ‘I Should Be So Lucky’.
Last week, Wes and Craig scored #1 for their song Abracadabra on the official Big Top 40.
Elsewhere, Craig and Wes will perform at the TS5 Festival London at Drumsheds in March, before Wes heads out on his first European tour in May.
It comes after Wes and Craig made a surprise appearance on Love Island All Stars.
The villa flashed back to four years ago when Anton Danyluk, 29, couldn’t contain his excitement after meeting Craig.
The DJ, singer and songwriter, 42, made a special appearance as he provided tunes for the iconic islanders, and Anton struggled to contain his excitement once again.
When Anton could barely stand after receiving a text message saying: ‘Islanders, it’s time to get glammed up because tonight the villa is hosting a VIP performance by an international superstar. #Rewind #FillMe.
The village went crazy, as super fan Anton shouts: ‘Craig David, Craig David, Craig David!’
While preparing for their big meeting, Anton asks the girls for some suntan lotion and Georgia tells him, “I can’t believe I’m having this conversation with my man.”

“I only do it because it’s a great night,” he tells her. “Of course honey, Craig is coming,” Georgia jokes.
Craig took no time to acknowledge his die-hard fan as the singing sensation shook his hand almost instantly after he started singing.
During the Islanders’ epic dance session, Anton could be seen smiling from cheek to cheek as he relived his dream session from 2019.
He could be seen jumping up and down as he once again couldn’t control his emotions or take his eyes off his icon.
Wes also made a stunning appearance starring alongside the Seven Days singer.
Craig has spoken about being a superfan before, revealing on the Jonathan Ross Show in 2019 that he met Anton shortly after Love Island while they were both in Ibiza.
Describing the islander as a “lovely guy”, Craig said: “[Anton] He went out to show love and he was the same […] but really humble. He said, “Listen Craig, I know everyone says I shed a tear, but I’m a big fan of yours and I had to tell you that I love your music.”
Anton has also gushed about meeting his idol, recalling their first meeting while recently re-watching clips from his first season on Love Island for a social media post with his mother Sherie Ann.
‘Oh, I have goosebumps. I love him,” she said while watching Craig’s original performance in the villa. ‘I just want it. To be fair, I can’t believe he’s dancing like that.

He also revealed how he had an unexpected interaction with Craig after the performance, when he was called to the Beach Hut and bumped into the musician on the way.
‘[They want] Your immediate reaction in the moment,” he explained. “So I went up to the beach hut and when I walked through the bedroom doors, Craig David was standing there.”
Anton said Craig “smiled and stuck out his fist,” adding: “I punched him and then ran back.”
And then we went up to the Beach Hut. It was crazy, but obviously it seemed like… he could see my reaction.’
When asked if he would feel the same again if he reunited with Craig, Anton told his mother: “Oh yes! Absolutely. I think he’s a great artist. His music is incredible. I love the way he has turned his career around.”
