But their new album, You Got This, held off Jessie Ware’s Superbloom to win the chart battle.

Webbe dubbed the news “glorious”, saying: “We came close before and got to number two, and I was not sure where we were going to go with this one.

“I was saying to people ‘it would be nice to get to number one’.

“It’s deserved, but I feel like we have taken the scenic route to get here. We’ve been going for a long time.”

The 59-year-old added: “The chips are going down lovely with the pattie and the champagne is in the fridge.

“I might crack that open and have it in the hot tub.”
