Watch the hilarious moment a child interrupts his mum during a live Sky News interview and asks her for some biscuits:
As shown in the clip above, the child bursts into the room a bit like Stone Cold Steve Austin and completely disregards the fact his mum, Sky News foreign affairs editor Deborah Haynes, is having a serious interview with Mark Austin.

To be fair, I completely get where the kid is coming from- there's always got to be a packet of Digestives in the kitchen, otherwise mum is getting an inquest.
In the clip, Haynes can be heard saying: "David Cameron was talking about... Oh I'm really sorry, that's my son arriving, really embarrassed, sorry," as the door swung open behind her and the little lad walked over to his mum.
She told him: "One second," before turning to the camera and saying: "Sorry!"
He then tapped his mum and asked: "Can I have two biscuits?" to which his mum replied: "Yes, you can have two biscuits. Really sorry about that."

At that point, the camera cut back to the studio with Austin saying: "We'll leave Deborah Haynes there, in full flow with some family duties."
On second thought, the youngster has played a blinder there - he quickly realised his mum would do anything to keep him quiet and managed to barter himself two biscuits.
Clever kid. I hope he enjoyed those well-earned biccies.

Viewers loved the unexpected interruption, with one person writing: "It's always OK to ask for a biscuit even when your mum is live on Sky News. Love the way she said yes very calmly! Mum goals right there."
Another person wrote: "Excellent strategy from the child - ask for biscuits at EXACTLY the moment your mum will agree to anything."
I agree.
Others however criticised the decision to cut Haynes off when she clearly had Biscuitgate all sorted.

One viewer asked: "Why don't Sky News handle random children entering the room as well as the BBC?! Why cut away - we all live for kids repositioning photo frames and asking for biscuits on the telly?!"
While someone else chipped in: "She had the biscuit situation under control Sky News. Very rude that you cut her off like that."
Even Piers Morgan got involved, asking: "Why did you cut away @markaustintv - this was by far the best TV you've anchored for months... and @haynesdeborah was handling things with hilarious aplomb."
Honestly, I understand why the news anchor cut away - have you ever seen an argument between a mum and a child who wants some sweeties?

Could last some time that.
