Brothers are Stavros superstars for the day

TWO Dumbarton brothers were made to feel like "superstars" for the day as they took to the stage with Britain's Got Talent favourites Stavros Flatley.

Luke and Arran Tibbs enjoyed the celebrity high life on Saturday, complete with a ride in a limousine and their own dressing room, before playing a special part in the Christmas lights switch-on in Clydebank.

The Silverton pair took to the stage in front of hundreds of people to perform their own Stavros dance routine - complete with pretend Cyprus tattoos - before being joined by the cult father and son duo for the grand finale.

The boys' mum, Marie Claire, has revealed that she was bursting with pride as she watched her children wow the crowd with their unique performance.

Our Lady and St Patrick's pupil Luke, 14, and Arran, seven, who goes to St Patrick's Primary, were back at school on Monday still coming to terms with their whirlwind weekend. But their mum hopes it might spur them on to bigger and better things and has also left them with some priceless memories.

Marie Claire said: "I think that this experience might encourage them to do more, especially Arran because he enjoys dancing and is talking about trying out some hip hop.

"While I think Luke was a bit more embarrassed about it all and was helping out his wee brother.

"I was so proud watching them do their stuff and we have so many great memories to cherish.

"We have signed pictures, and Stavros Flatley also gave them wigs and headbands which they will keep forever. The whole family came up to see them perform, so they had quite an entourage."
