ITV1 morning show This Morning is known for its funny moments from Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield having a giggle or turning up from the National Television Awards hungover to misbehaving animals. On Friday, January 27, a four-year-old caused havoc on the show which ended up with host Alison Hammond jokingly telling her co-host Dermot O'Leary off.
TeddyHobbs was on the show with his mum Beth as he is a child genius, teaching himself to read at the age of just two, however, while on the show proved he was like any other four-year-old. Like any child he took great joy in playing with his toys, running around the set and hi-fiving and climbing on Dermot and causing chaos.
Dermot began the section by giving Teddy, who has become the UK’s youngest ever member of Mensa , high-fives, which he loved, and soon he was interrupting the interview to ask for more hi-fives, shouting: "Give me a high five!" Dermot then began tickling Teddy before Teddy started hitting Dermot with his toy teddy bear.

This made it very distracting for Alison, who was trying to interview and chat with Beth, and she told Dermot off. She said: "Dermot O'Leary! I'm trying to have an interview here and you are just playing!"
Dermot cheekily replied: "What am I supposed to do?" Beth said Teddy was "very much still a four-year-old, still finds poo funny". She also apologised for Teddy's fun behaviour which Dermot easily waved off saying, "Oh, don't be daft! I've got a two and half-year-old so don't worry!"
The trio did endeavour to continue with the interview and we heard Teddy, who can count to 100 in six different languages, show off his skills in Mandarin. Ultimately the four-year-old had the time of his life with Dermot on the show and Dermot said afterwards he was aching from all the fun with Teddy.
