Back in Scotland, Erin made contact with one of the Carola's mothers and bumped into one of the gang outside of his house.

As I was getting out of my car, one of the kids was walking by and he's like, oh mate, I'm going to be on the news tonight.

And I've just turned around and went, oh, thanks to my ring doorbell.

And his face just was like, no way, is that your ring doorbell?

And I actually met them all and I have never seen kids so happy.

One of them had actually said, because I'd messaged, you know, come back.

I said, no, we're not doing it for money.

We're doing it to make people smile.

and one of the mums that I spoke to was like it's good that it's happened because believe it or not normally they're maybe out causing a bit of mischief etc she says but I genuinely think this is going to make them like behave themselves because look at what's happened no even just Scotland like it's global it's went everywhere Canadian media messaging someone from Tokyo messaging saying oh can we put this on our news thing and I'm like they have made everyone happy this year
