"I think the boys on Open Goal brought it back to life, Si Ferry and Paul Slane, with singing it every week.

"The nation has just latched on to it. Seeing all the videos on Thursday night was hilarious.

"But it's been brought back to life and, honestly, Andy is the nicest guy in the world.

"He just has a laugh about it and I'm sure it will be the same when he's away with the A squad, having a laugh and joke about it.

"But it is absolutely brilliant and to see all the videos over social media in the past couple of days has been brilliant.

"And is it close to number one? Magic."
