Take that trolls - the 'Dancing Man' who was cruelly mocked online for his moves has been living the high life in America and partying with celebs.

Sean O'Brien was bullied by anonymous idiots after pictures of him dancing were posted on the 4chan site.

Pictures of Mr O'Brien, 46, dancing happily and then looking downcast after being spotted were posted in March with the message: "Spotted this specimen trying to dance the other week. He stopped when he saw us laughing."

After a wave of 'fat-shaming' abuse, Mr O'Brien won an outpouring of support from people disgusted at his treatment.

A group of American supporters led by writer Cassandra Fairbanks wanted to do "something special" for the Dancing Man and a Twitter campaign was launched to track him down.

Mr O'Brien, originally from Liverpool but now living in London, was flown to Los Angeles for a party in his honour this weekend.

The bash at the Avalon nightclub, which raised money for anti-bullying charities, was attended by around 1,000 supporters, including rocker Andrew WK, White House intern-turned anti-bullying campaigner Monica Lewinsky and Moby, who had previously offered his DJ services for free. A video message from Pharrell Williams was played.

Andrew WK told the crowd: "Probably one of the worst things that ever happened to Sean - or that I can imagine happening to anybody - has turned out to probably be one of the best things that has ever happened to him."

While in the States Mr O'Brien has also appeared on television dancing with pop star Meghan Trainor and thrown the symbolic first pitch at a baseball game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres.

Mr O'Brien told Good Morning Britain that what had happened to him had been incredible, saying: "(It was) daunting at first. (I was) a bit worried about how it all happened but it's turned into the most wonderful journey, I've met some of the most wonderful people you can imagine. It's been truly life-changing."

He added: "I've always had confidence anyway, I've always wanted to dance. It's just people will pick on you sometimes.

"But what it has taught me is just totally ignore them rather than just blanking them."
