It's all part of a huge campaign by magazine Smash Hits - and they are going straight to the top with their demands!

On Friday they marched to 10 Downing Street - the Prime Minister's home.

There, they demanded their right to have 7 November declared National Gareth Day.

Wearing Gareth masks and t-shirts, they knocked on the Prime Minister's door and handed over a petition with 1,800 signatures.

If they get their way, this is what all Gareth fans will do on the day:

• At midday, fans will stop what they are doing to make Gareth-related sounds for one minute
• A star will be named after Gareth
• Indoor Gareth-themed street parties
• A Gareth lookalike competition

But so far, there's no news of a similar day to mark fellow Pop Idol Will Young...
