Now we didn't really need any extra confirmation on how hot those McFly fellas are, but it seems this little tale just verifies what we knew the whole time... Women love McFly.

In fact, women love Tom Fletcher, Dougie Poynter, Harry Judd and Danny Jones so much that about 400 of them decided to turn up to the IndigO2 in London last night, just to see their idols make a mad dash from the building to their car (and to obviously smother them in love, kisses and camera lenses).

The McFly fellas were of course there for other reasons (although we're sure they enjoyed that fan love). The boys were actually in town to do their very best Simon Cowell impressions and be on the judging panel for an exciting competition called the Next BRIT Thing 2012, where they had to pick three talented artists from a nationwide search for brand new musical talent. They were joined on the panel by the fabulous classical singer Laura Wright and some other important musical bods.

And the boys did a great job of it - they hand-picked the three winners (Paul Shevlin, Sarah Gardner and Floodliners) after a delicious Nandos dinner fuelled them up for the night... Of course it was lucky they did grab a chicken burger or two beforehand because when the boys finally did leave the building, they chose to thoughtfully stop for a "considerable amount of time" to take pictures with fans, sign autographs and generally be nice. Aw!

And we reckon there'll be some more happy McFans this week too - because the boys are kicking off on their Keep Calm and Play Louder Tour in Portsmouth tomorrow. Obviously, we're hoping for stories of nakedness while singing or races to see who can make the quickest pizza delivery to the stage again...

It's for reasons like this that we love 'em after all!
