HUNDREDS of teenagers crammed into a Bolton nightclub for a glimpse of Blue hearthrob Simon Webbe.

More than 900 under-18s hit the dance floor at Ikon on Monday night as the boy band singer manned the decks for an eagerly-anticipated DJ slot.

The excitement reached fever pitch when the star sang the Mario Wynans' hit "I Don't Wanna Know" to the packed audience.

The night in Bolton is part of a UK tour, sponsored by a soft drinks company, that has visited Warrington, Leeds and Newscastle.

A three-piece hip-hop outfit called Lade, which is managed by the Blue singer, was also introduced at the club.

Francesca and Lareece, from America, along with Jo from London, sang two tracks, "Dirty Dance" and "Shake It Off".

Lareece will be touring Britain with Blue as they promote their latest single "Bubblin" on which she performs the rap section.
