An 81-year-old Shania Twain superfan has told his hero that meeting her was a "dream" after she called him up on stage at a show in his hometown.

The Canadian superstar, who recently lit up Glastonbury's legends slot with a set of her greatest hits, asked Ken Northall to join her during her show at Lytham Festival in Lancashire on Thursday night.

She even changed the lyrics to That Don't Impress Me Much in honour of him, swapping film star Brad Pitt's name for Ken's.

Thanking her as he left the stage, he told her it had been "a dream".
