This is the adorable moment a BBC anchor Kylie Pentelow’s son excitedly watched her on TV.
The journalist, 45, from Bristol, who joined the BBC in 2023 shared a clip to her TiKTok showing her son Edward, two, watch her at home.
Dressed in a sweet tractor top and nappy – alongside a FIreman Sam helmet – the little boy excitedly runs over to the TV as soon as he hears the BBC News intro playing.
‘Whose going to come now?’ her husband Brady Haran says off-camera.
‘Mummy!’ Edward excitedly declares while pointing at the screen.
When she appears on the screen, Edward shouts ‘Mummy! Hello Mummy!’ while joyously wiggling.
The clip quickly racked up more than 120,000 views with people quickly taking to the comments to share how excited they were.

An ITV newsreader wrongly announced the death of the Pope on live television during an awkward Christmas Day blunder.
In a Christmas Day broadcast, Kylie, mistakenly began announcing the death of the leader of the Catholic Church, before swiftly ending the segment in a toe-curling exchange on Saturday evening.
Ms Pentelow was reporting on the Pontiff’s Christmas Day address in the Vatican City, explaining how he implored world leaders to make vaccines available ‘to those most in need’.
She then went on to say, ‘his death was announced’, before realising her mistake and quickly adding: ‘excuse me’ as the segment ended.
Pope Francis has led the Catholic church since 2013 when he replaced Benedict XVI.

It comes after an adorable toddler, also from Bristol, was caught red handed scribbling on his mother’s wall.
Jackline Mwende, 42, had fallen asleep when her two-year-old son, Thabani Canessius, napped in his cot.
But the mother-of-two woke up to find that Thabani had reached out of his cot, got hold of her eyeliner from her make-up bag and started doodling on the white wardrobe.
Not only did Thabani use the black kohl pencil to cover the wardrobe in scribbles, the little boy also drew on himself, using the entire eyeliner.
Jackline, a stay-at-home-mother, from Bristol, said: ‘He really went on a mission.
‘We had to wash his mouth, hands, face…. even scrub his tongue!’
Jackline had dozed off at around 4pm after suffering with a migraine.
She woke up an hour later to ‘dark colour absolutely everywhere’.

The two-year-old even drew on himself and his cot – and he couldn’t help but giggle at the mess he had made
The playful toddler held his hands up revealing his eyeliner-covered fingertips
She said: ‘I saw dark writing on the wall, and my initial reaction was shock-horror’.
‘I switched the light on… and I was mortified.’
Luckily both Jackline and Thabani’s dad, Goodwill Canessius, were light-hearted about the episode, finding it hilarious.
Still, the pair were focused on cleaning the mess up. Jackline tried vinegar and lemon juice to remove the make-up and had to use bleach to render the wardrobe white again.
But the playful toddler, who held his hands up and giggled about the mess he had made, was apologetic, promising his mother that he ‘wont do it again’.
Jackline said: ‘He’s done loads of hilarious things which I haven’t caught on camera, but my initial reaction was “please Thabani, please tell me you haven’t.” I almost thought I was dreaming!’
Thabani’s antics may be amusingly shocking but he’s far from the only little boy who has unknowingly made his mother wince by taking matters into his own hands.
