Gogglebox star Tom Malone Jr went on a trip down memory lane last weekend, as he dug through old family photos to wish his mum a happy birthday.
The Malone matriarch, Julie, celebrated her birthday on Sunday, August 30, spending the happy day with her family.
Marking the occasion, Tom, 26, shared a photo from his childhood, which showed Julie helping a young Tom onto the back of a donkey.
Both had huge smiles on their face as they beamed at the camera, and Julie could be seen with glossy brunette hair and an oversized burgundy coat.

In his caption, Tom penned a heartfelt tribute to his mum, saying: “Massive Happy Birthday to my Mum! You’re the best.”
Referring to his dad, Tom Sr, in the background of the snap, he added: “Peep my dad in the background with the camcorder.”
Taking to the comment section below, Gogglebox fans rushed to send Julie a happy birthday message, sending their love to the Malone family.

One said: “Happy birthday to your lovely mum. I’ve spoken to her on Twitter a few times, and she is lovely.”
“Happy Birthday Mumma Malone,” added a second.
And a third chimed: “Awww happy birthday to your gorgeous mum. Hope she has a wicked day x”
Julie shot to fame on the hit Friday night show in 2014, when the Malone family joined the cast of the Channel 4 reality series from their Manchester sofa.

Though just Tom and his brother Shaun appear on the show, there are actually two more siblings to the famous family – their older brother and sister, Lee and Vanessa.
Explaining why his siblings decided against making an appearance, Shaun told Metro: “When the show approached us, it was just me, Tom [Jr], mum and dad who were living together.
“But Vanessa was at university and Lee was off living in his house, so they weren’t living at home, so it wouldn’t have made sense for them to be on the show – that’s literally the only reason.”
Gogglebox is set to return to Channel 4 in September
