BBC's Big Night In has viewers in floods of tears within five minutes over beautiful friendship

The BBC's Big Night In has got fans weeping within five minutes.

The show, in aid of Children in Need and Comic Relief, kicked off by telling the story of pensioner Bryn and his adorable frienship with a little girl who comes to visit him.

Bryn has been kept housebound by the coronavirus outbreak, but that hasn't stopped little Eve and her parents making sure to walk by each day to wave through the window.

Host Matt Baker told that Bryn is watching the show with a can of Guinness, which Eve dropped off for him.

Needless to say, the touching story opened up the waterworks for many viewers.

Chief among the bawlers was reigning Strictly champ Kelvin Fletcher.

"It's only just started," he tweeted, "And I'm crying already #TheBigNightIn."

Another fan penned: "5 minutes in and I'm already crying #TheBigNightIn."

A fourth laughed: "The Big Night In has been on for 3 minutes and I'm already crying into my curry."

Fans are beside themselves with excitement for what's to come, including a message from Time Lords past and present, the return of the Vicar of Dibley, and Matt Lucas and David Walliams's reunion for new Little Britain material from their living rooms.

Peter Kay will also be debuting a brand new rendition of his Amarillo video, 15 years after his first Comic Relief video made the Tony Christie track the UK's biggest song.
