Another Child Interrupts A BBC Interview
It's been over three years since Robert Kelly's kids interrupted his interview with the BBC, and now we finally have a successor.
Another child adorably interrupted her parent's BBC interview on Wednesday, when Dr. Clare Wenham's daughter Scarlett decided that she simply had to find the perfect spot to place a picture of a unicorn behind her mother as she talked to Christian Fraser about the coronavirus pandemic.

Everyone appeared to take the moment in good humor, as Fraser joked he felt the painting would look good on the lower shelf. At that point, Scarlett began demanding to know who her mother was talking to, not knowing she was currently on national TV.

The moment was a hit with viewers for its heartwarming silliness.
Dr Clare Wenham demonstrating the juggle of parenting and working, she is amazing here, not flustered, not put off her stride for a second. Also lovely that the news presenter chatted away, underlining kids are part of our world, no more “be seen and not heard”. Well done all. https://t.co/ViEvadWepF

Well done Dr Clare Wenham and all the other parents out there right now balancing work and kids 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 But what a brilliant bit of footage she now has to embarrass her daughter with when she’s older. The best. https://t.co/pta9Vf4TJJ

A scenario faced by many women at the moment, but most of us won't be live on the BBC News Channel! Beautifully handled by Dr Clare Wenham, "Christian" and Scarlett! 🙂 https://t.co/zoxGxF9daK

Wenham soldiered on through the interview with aplomb, and let everyone know the answer to the pressing question: where did they put the unicorn?
We’ve decided on a shelf for the unicorn. Thanks to all for kind words normalising the work-parent balance that so many are juggling amid #covid19 chaos
