In just under a day, Candace Payne managed to go from a stay-at-home mum, sitting in her car, laughing her head off at a Chewbacca mask, to overnight viral sensation - the video quickly becoming the most watched Facebook Live video ever.

Over 100 million views later, the toy mask sold out everywhere, the Toy Shop she bought it from sending her family a tonne of Star Wars collectables.

However, come Monday evening, just five days after the video was originally posted, the ‘Chewbacca Mom’ hit a new peak, appearing alongside James Corden and The Force Awakens director JJ Abrams on The Late Late Show.

That’s not all, though. It was also revealed that Chewbacca actor Peter Mayhew has set aside four VIP tickets for Payne and her family so they can have a private meet and great with Mayhew. And all for posting an incredibly honest and joyful video to Facebook live.

Meanwhile, Corden has had numerous famous faces pop up in his car recently, including Demi Lovato, Nick Jonas and Gwen Stefani.
