Get Me Out Of Here! at the start of this month.The band were united in their celebrations after Harry's bandmates stormed the stage and hugged him excitedly as the result of the show was announced.

They jumped on top of him, as host Bruce Forsyth looked on in panic. The veteran broadcaster mistook them for troublemakers, telling them: "Get off the stage! Get off!"

Harry's overjoyed dad Christopher also joined the scrum.

Later, some of the 13 million who had been watching at home took to Twitter as proclaimed Sir Bruce's attempts to shoo the band off stage "the best TV moment of 2011".
