Robert Kelly’s live BBC interview is interrupted by his kids

Professor Robert Kelly was midway through answering the presenter’s questions about Park Guen-hye when a little girl, dressed in a yellow jumper, is seen opening the door behind him and wandering into the room.

She swings her arms happily as she walks over to her dad, who has clearly spotted her on his screen and attempts to push her out of the way.

 

 

Meanwhile a younger child in a baby walker comes waddling into the now open doorway and follows after her sister towards Mr Kelly, a professor of political science and international relations.

Seconds later, a woman — thought to be their mother — comes bounding into the room and grabs both children by their arms, dragging them backwards.

 

 

Their dad tries to remain professional but closes his eyes for a few seconds and apologises as they make their dramatic exit.

A clip of the interview was posted on Twitter and has quickly gone viral.
