Christmas came early for a Lewis Capaldi superfan after her work pals treated her to a cheeky advent calendar of the Scots singer.
Abigail Parkinson, 26, was left stunned after colleagues chipped in to buy her the "perfect" present - a festive sweet treat featuring the West Lothian crooner standing shirtless, in only a pair of pants. A video of the office worker, from Northern Ireland, finding the saucy gift on her desk has now gone viral on TikTok.
Abigail told the Record: "I loved it. I was so surprised as it was a Secret Santa so I had no idea what I was getting.
"It was the perfect present!"
In the video, which has been viewed over 646,000 times and amassed over 52,000 likes, Abigail can be seen giggling after she enters her office and clocks the calendar, asking: "Is this for me?".
Unable to control her laughter, Abigail then holds up the gift and says "it's perfect" before planting a big kiss on the West Lothian star's face.
But the influencer has admitted that even though she was delighted with the design of the calendar, she appreciates the Scots star for more than just his physical appearance.
Abigail added: "I'm a huge fan of his music and his latest single Forget Me is amazing, but it's his personality that really makes me love him."
TikTok users loved the video, with fans tagging Lewis and demanding the pair collaborate.
One person wrote: "Love it, @lewiscapaldi you need to collaborate with this girl!"
Another said: "Marry this girl @lewiscapaldi."
A third wrote: "This is literally going to make @lewiscapaldi's year!"
