Weather report boy labelled 'legend' for epic dance routine

We all love watching weather updates to see what's in store - but yesterday it was a boy who became the star of a BBC report and not the sunshine...

Presenter Jen Bartram was reporting from a windy beach in South Shields as she provided the forecast yesterday.

During the segment, the young boy wanders into shot to begin his brilliant routine which left viewers in stitches.

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."

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

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

It went down a storm on Twitter, with one writing: "Top marks there - excellent delivery and real style."

A second replied: "Was laughing my socks off at beach kid just living his best life yesterday."

Another suggested: "Someone buy that lad an ice cream! Total legend."
