Holiday snapshot
Tom couldn’t have found a cuter picture to share with his 118,000 followers if he’d tried.
The photo he posted showed him and his mum on holiday at a caravan park when Tom was just a toddler.
He can be seen riding a donkey while his mum walks alongside him, making sure he doesn’t fall off.
Tom captioned the picture: “Massive Happy Birthday to my Mum. You’re the best. Peep my dad in the background with the camcorder.”
