Darren Day was starstruck when The Chuckle Brothers paid a visit to the Celebrity Scissorhands Academy yesterday.

"I'm a massive fan. A huge fan," gushed Day when he came face to face with children's favourites Barry and Paul Chuckle. "Before you go, for my little lad, can you sign an autograph?" he pleaded.

Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills was also impressed by the visitors and planned to brag about the meeting over the airwaves: "The great thing about me doing my show this afternoon is that I can mention that I gave one of the Chuckle Brothers a manicure."
