A 15-YEAR-OLD lad has been catapulted to fame after a surprise appearance on the Glastonbury stage made him a national hero.

Here's the latest on the bucket-hatted boy wonder whose rapping skills left festival-goers open-mouthed.

Who is Alex Mann?

Alex Mann, a teenager from the city of Wells in Somerset, hit the headlines when he  called up onto the stage by rapper Dave at this year's Glastonbury.

The crowd went nuts as the young lad skilfully rapped his way through a song dedicated to Thiago Silva, after his shirt holding the footballer's name caught Dave's attention.

The West Country superfan's magic moment has gone viral online, with a video of the song seen by more than one million viewers on YouTube.

What has he been offered?

Since his performance Alex has appeared on Good Morning Britain, where he relived his surreal experience to co-host Piers Morgan.

The keen rapper has been offered gigs of his own off the back of his top skills – and already has one lined up in Newcastle this Thursday.

And BoohooMan has already contacted him about a modelling contract.

How many social media followers does he have?

Alex's social media following rocketed after his viral Glastonbury appearance.

He now has more than 178,000 followers on Twitter and more than 110,000 on Instagram.
