A Beatles tour group in Liverpool was gatecrashed by Paul McCartney himself.

The group, led by Jackie Spencer, takes fans to sites around The Beatles’ hometown. When the group stopped at the Liverpool waterfront Beatles’ statue, Paul McCartney and James Corden showed up.

“We’d had a lovely morning. I had four people with me, from Washington State and California, and we were finishing the tour by the new statues,” tour guide Spencer told Variety. “There was a couple of paparazzi around and we said to one of them, ‘Who’s the celebrity in town?’ We’d heard rumors but nobody would tell us. And then this guy said, ‘Well, I’ll tell you one of them: It’s James Corden. He’s with somebody else and they’re in that car over there.”

“And the next minute,” she said, “this black car pulls up and both Paul McCartney and James Corden got out of it!”

The pair were recording an episode of ‘Carpool Karaoke’ for next week’s The Late Late Show with James Corden. The show features Corden doing a sing-along with selected big artists.

McCartney then allegedly got out of the car and stood by the statue so people could take photos.

“He was being really nice to everybody. He was backing people in so they could get pictures with him,” Spencer said. “He and James Corden were taking selfies. And they just walked back, got in the car and disappeared off and went ’round Liverpool. It was fabulous.”

The episode will air on UK’s Sky Network next week.
