Boy upstages BBC weather report with epic dance routine

A boy who performed an epic dance routine in the background of a weather report on the beach has gone viral.

The youngster was spotted on a BBC weather report from presenter Jen Bartram.

Jen was reporting from a windy beach in South Shields as she provided an update on the heatwave hitting some areas of the country on Friday.

During the segment, the young boy wanders in to shot to begin his brilliant routine which left viewers in stitches - reports Mirror Online.

Later realising what had happened, Jen tweeted to say: "I was unaware of being upstaged by the young boy with some rather enviable dance moves during my forecast."

Jen also said the boy's mum had been in touch and the dancing star's name was Leo William.

Sharing the video with her followers, it shows the boy begin his routine with a couple of T-shirt lifts before turning round to transition into some side-stepping moves.

He ends the routine by speeding away into the distance - and he's been hailed a 'hero' on social media after the comedic clip went viral.

Jen even found a way to improve it further by "giving the forecast what it deserves", adding the soundtrack of Up & Down by Vengaboys, and Tony Christie's Amarillo to perfectly match the moves.
