Victoria Derbyshire showed off her mothering skills by walking off the set of her live show to take a little boy to the loo.
The presenter was interviewing parents about Sats on her BBC programme when one of the guests, six-year-old Kai, complained of feeling too hot.
Victoria, 47, asked him: “You alright Kai? What’s the matter darling? Do you need the loo?”
She then wasted no time in whisking him off the set of the live show so that she could take him to the toilet, telling the guests: “Just talk amongst yourselves and I’ll be back in one second.”
Victoria’s kindness has gone down a storm online, with many praising the way she handled the situation.
.@vicderbyshire loved your response to the little boy feeling too warm on your show this morning. So kind to put him first! #HighFive

It is amazing how well @vicderbyshire interacts with young children. By far my favourite presenter. #VictoriaLIVE

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
