Is this Gareth's No.1 fan?

Hundreds were at London's Arena, and most were proudly wearing Gareth t-shirts and clutching posters - official and homemade.

Just about every second person claimed to be Gareth's number one fan!

And most agreed the opening night was "wicked" and just "fabulous".

One Gareth admirer Sian, 11, said "I thought it was really cool - I like Gareth the best 'cos he's so good looking! Will looked really weird - he's looked like he had a beard!"

But others, like 12-year-old Kelly wished there had been more of Will.

Zoe joined in too

The tour comes as the pair's single - The Long And Winding Road - sits comfortably in the number one spot.

Or are they No.1 fans?

And their special guest was 16-year-old pal Zoe Birkett!

Wearing cool trousers with red shiny bits and darker hair with red streaks, she treated the crowd to jazzy classics.

While hunky Gareth in his white Elvis suit serenaded his fans with favourite Unchained Melody and other sweet songs which had his fans drooling!

But everyone's fave bit was when the three of them gathered in the centre of a special stage to sing together.

Rocking seats

But some had to leave early because crowds went so wild, some of the upper seating swayed and shook too much.

And yet more Gareth fans...

"We were so scared, that's why we left early. I won't go up there again", said Lauren, 12.

Lee, 12, said: "Everyone got up to dance to Will and everything started rocking - it was scary. I just thought it was going to collapse".

But the Arena's General Manager told us the seats are designed that way and people shouldn't worry about the rocking.

End of the road

By the end of the UK tour, Will and Gareth will have performed to over 500,000 fans!

And as Will exclusively told Newsround on Thursday, the pair finally go their separate ways in the pop world after the tour. Boo hoo!
