Brace yourselves as the festivities of Glastonbury have, at long last, finally kicked off today (26 June). This year marks the 54th edition of Glasto, and thousands upon thousands of punters have already flocked to the campsite equipped with their tents, portable chargers, and, of course, flower crowns. The excitement is palpable!
While many of us are buzzing to tune into the headliner performances throughout the festival, there’s one thing we look forward to almost as much every single year – the entry interviews. No doubt you’ll already be familiar with the absolute hun who had an absolutely hilarious reaction when asked why she had rollers in her hair last year. Well, it seems another Glasto gal has now taken the throne for the most iconic response, leaving BBC viewers in stitches after a live interview with a five-year-old took a ‘very strange’ turn.
Take a look at this totally adorable encounter:
It all started when a BBC interviewer approached a family, and their young child revealed she had ‘something crazy’ to tell him. “I have a boyfriend,” the child dropped, shocking the presenter who replied, “That’s quite a declaration to make on national TV!” The presenter continued, jokingly asking for the boyfriend’s name. The girl then explained that the chap’s name was Toby Ogden, leaving everyone smiling. The presenter bantered, “I’m gonna have to find out from the parents whether they approve – Toby Ogden.”
“It’s a no from me,” the dad joked before the mom assured, “No, he’s lovely! They’re good friends, he’s lovely. He’s going for tea when we get back!” But the little girl wasn’t done yet. She dropped the bombshell, “My daddy said he will lock him in a tower.” And to everyone’s surprise, she added a gem, “And I got something to tell you. My grandpa has a scorpion and a praying mantis and loads of bugs.”
The presenter couldn’t help but respond with what we were all probably thinking, “This has gone very strange.” The internet has been left in stitches with this adorable interview.
One user exclaimed, “We already have a contender for the wildest Glastonbury interview of the year.” Another chimed in, “OMG, this ADORABLE moment on BBC Breakfast.” A third person couldn’t help but appreciate the confidence of the five-year-old, stating, “Imagine being five and announcing on national television that you now have a boyfriend. Boss move.” Indeed, this is the news the people need!
It’s heartening to see these wholesome and fun moments at Glastonbury. It reminds us that kids definitely tell it as it is. This interview has definitely lightened the spirits of many Glastonbury enthusiasts who may be feeling a bit blue this year.
So, let’s celebrate the joy and innocence that Glastonbury brings and enjoy the music, the interviews,
