A third added: "You are her twin!" A fourth wrote: "What a lovely photo of you both, you really look like your mum."

Last June, once the UK's first lockdown restrictions were slowly lifting, David expressed his joy when he was finally able to reunite with his mother after months apart - and his reaction to seeing her was the best.

He tweeted: "My mum is 77 and was given the vaccine yesterday. When I spoke to her last night I could hear the joy in her voice.

"Now there was hope. Thank you so much to the clever scientists for developing it & the brilliant NHS for delivering it. You have made my mum and I very happy."

The TV star did not specify whether his parent had been given the Pfizer/BioNTech or the Oxford University/AstraZeneca vaccination against the virus.
