He added: “F***! I had no idea – zero idea!
“I’m actually in the middle of driving. I had to pull over when you called. Funnily enough, I thought I was having a bad morning because there was a mishap at work but now it’s done a complete 180!
“I don’t know what to say. That’s incredible!
“I play a random subscription every Saturday and I have just let it run for a bit.
“Thank you so much for this phone call.”
