Charlotte Dawson’s baby son Noah looks just like her dad Les in a funny video she posted on Instagram.

The reality TV star shared the eight-second clip of the tot appearing to copy the late comic’s trademark gurn face.

The family were sat in a restaurant when one-year-old Noah decided to do the impersonation of his great-grandad, who he never got to meet.

Capturing the hilarious moment on camera, Charlotte is heard laughing and saying “Oh my God, grandad Les” as Noah pulls the pouty face.

Sharing the video with her 1.3 million followers, Charlotte added: “Oh Noah grandad Les would be so proud of you & that gurn.”

Fans were quick to comment on the post, which has already racked up over 380,000 views.

Agreeing with the family resemblance, one follower wrote: “The boy’s a dead ringer for ‘is grandad.”

Another commented: “Awww he is gorgeous, his Grandad would be thrilled, he is the image of him.”

“This is just a magical moment. Definitely takes after your dad. Little legend in the making,” a third said.

While a fourth chimed in: “He’s a little Les. I love it.”

Sadly comedy legend Les died in 1993 when daughter Charlotte was just eight months old.

He was at a routine hospital appointment in Manchester when he suddenly had a heart attack at the age of 62.

Second wife Tracy had to bring up their daughter Charlotte on her own – but the family have always felt a special connection to Les, even if he hasn’t been there.

When she was giving birth to her own son Noah last year, Charlotte – who has appeared on Celebs Go Dating and Ex On The Beach – claims she could feel her dad “all around her”.

Although she admits she is “heartbroken” her dad will never meet Noah, she is determined to keep his memory alive.

Speaking to The Mirror, Charlotte said: “It’s been hard, life without my dad.

"But now that I’ve got a little baby, it’s become even harder because Noah is his grandson and it’s just painful to know that they will never get to know one another. That realisation must be so hard for my mum too.

"He’s definitely all around us though, I can feel him around us. And I feel like when Noah pulls certain faces, he looks just like my dad, which is so lovely to me. It’s like a comfort, and he’s definitely a character like his grandad."
