Dancing Dundee plumber taps into net fame

A Dundee plumber has become an internet sensation in less than a week after a video of him dancing was viewed over NINE MILLION times.

Mark Topen, 52, who is more commonly known as Toby, is a self-employed plumber who had taken a few minutes out of his day only to be caught by one of his colleagues dancing to a well-known Robert Miles track.

Since the video was put online on Thursday, it has been picked up by sites including The Lad Bible where over nine million people have seen it.

Ill admit that it was a bit embarrassing at first but I suppose that is what is funny about it and I can see that now, he said.

Its not something I would do all the time because it can be disrespectful to do it in peoples homes but this house was empty.

I definitely think that it helps that I have a character where I can get away with it.

Sometimes the job can be stressful, so its good to take the pressure off if you can.

As well as views, the video has racked up nearly a quarter of a million likes and been shared over 42,000 times on Facebook.

This new-found celebrity status is something Toby thinks is just unbelievable.

He said: Its been amazing and I have received so many calls and texts from people telling me they have seen it online.
