SINGING plumber Andrew Muir today does a surprise turn for his brother’s 21st — after we filmed him singing Happy Birthday.
The Britain’s Got Talent star will be on stage with the show in Birmingham while Ross celebrates his big day at a family party in their home town of Fauldhouse, West Lothian, 300 miles away.
But last night The Sun caught up with him between tour dates to shoot the special video for his little bruv.
He sang birthday greetings and sent his love as we filmed in the bedroom of the house he is renovating.
Andrew, 24, is “gutted” he will miss the party in the Fauldhouse Welfare Club — but he paid tribute to Ross who he calls his “best mate”.
He said: “We are really close — we don’t fight at all. Everyone is going to be there and it’ll be some party. But since I’m not there I thought it would be good to wish him happy birthday in style and what a way to do it.
“I’d love to see his face when he sees the video.
“I really appreciate The Sun for doing this as I’m sure Ross will.”
The pair’s parents Marion and Andrew, both 42, and sisters Demi, 12, and Saoirse, nine, will all be at the bash — as will the parents of tragic cousin Lori Callaghan who died recently of brain cancer aged six.
Andrew, who dedicated his performances on the talent show to Lori, added: “Lorraine and John are doing OK but these things take time. The party will be a nice family occasion for everyone.”
Meanwhile Andrew will be singing his heart out at the Birmingham NEC. It is the last gig before the tour’s big climax at London’s O2 arena on Saturday.
He said: “There will be a few tears shed afterwards. We’ve all been together since the start and, it sounds cheesy, but we’re like one big family. It’ll be a tough night.”
After the tour Andrew will return home to the family pub, the Commercial Inn.
But he is looking forward to moving out into his new home — and forging a showbiz career.
He said: “I’ve got a few meetings lined up after the tour’s over so we’ll see how it goes — but I’ve definitely got a taste for it.”
So Ross, here’s to a happy 21st from The Sun.
