Yahoo News Gogglebox's Tom Malone Jr shares childhood photo for mum Julie's birthday
Gogglebox favourite Tom Malone Jr has uploaded an adorable photograph of himself as a kid alongside his mum Julie to celebrate her birthday.
The TV star and professional dancer showed off his very 1990s bowl cut (or mushroom cut, if you prefer) on what looks like a family caravan holiday, writing: "Massive Happy Birthday to my Mum! You're the best. Peep my dad in the background with the camcorder."

Tom's brother Shaun recently revealed that there are two more siblings in the Malone family, but they don't actually appear on the show, stating that they weren't living at home with their parents when they signed up for the show, so they missed out.
Tom himself has previously spoken of how the foursome (plus their dogs) were first drafted in by producers, recalling: "I was actually working at a dance studio at the time and my mum was working on the reception.
"They rang up and spoke to the owner to find out if there were any good families that would be good for the show, and they said us."

Sadly, Tom recently had to address racist comments that were being made on social media towards his girlfriend Bryony Briscoe.
He asked his fans to report any instances of racism that they see, stating that: "TikTok is supposed to be a platform for people to have fun, dance, enjoy themselves."
Gogglebox is planned to return for a brand new regular series on September 11.
