A PARTY bus with comedian Joe Lycett and Atomic Kitten singing 'Toll Again' while they drive over the Mersey Gateway Bridge may sound like a weird dream.
But for anyone who thought their friends and family must have made a mistake, we can confirm they were telling the truth.
Funnyman Joe Lycett took to Twitter calling on residents to get involved ahead of filming for TV show Joe Lycett's Got Your Back.
He said: "I’m filming a frankly RIDICULOUS thing in Liverpool today and we need spectators who may end up on camera. If you’re up for it get yourself to Brewers Fayre in Widnes at 3:30pm. Bring wheels! (It’s not dogging) #merseyflowawarenessday"
And don't worry, he later sent an apology saying he knew Widnes was not in Liverpool.
The lucky group who joined him on the bus got to meet Atomic Kitten and joined in with a new version of their hit track 'Whole Again' called 'Toll Again'.
Today I took Atomic Kitten and a choir over a toll bridge while we all sang a version of ‘Whole Again’ called ‘Toll Again’. And how was your Sunday?

He explained afterwards to fans the stunt was linked to one of the stories they would be doing on the show about the Mersey Gateway bridge tolls.
The side of the double decker bus said 'Joe Lycett's M.A.D. Don't let MerseyFlow take a toll on your wallet'.
Motorists who passed the bus beeped their horns and cheered the stunt.
It's hoped viewers will be able to watch it in March.
