As every parent will know, you cannot plan for when your child might throw a tantrum. Sometimes, it can happen in the most unfortunate of places.
For Mo Farah, it happened when he was being honoured with the Sports Personality of the Year Award last night. He couldn’t make the event in Liverpool, so he was being broadcast live to collect the award.
He was joined by his daughter Rihanna and his son Hussein for the segment.
Little 2-year-old Hussein couldn’t quite handle the situation and demanded to be in his dad’s arms, leaving poor Mo very distracted while being interviewed live on television.
What a night for Mo Farah and his family.
His young son Hussein was proving a handful earlier though ? #SPOTY 2017 pic.twitter.com/0v1iYTBzYf

@Mo_Farah not listening to a single word on sports personality of the year because he’s more interested in his son just makes me love that man more. #SPOTY
