NICOLA Sturgeon has praised a young Scot who dressed up as her for Halloween and did his own Janey Godley-style Covid briefing as a "wee star".
Alyson Welsh shared a video of her young son, in costume as the First Minister, addressing the nation at a daily briefing.
The boy says: "You wir telt! Stay in the hoose. Nae parties, save lives."
He then goes on to sign off with Janey Godley's now famous catchphrase, saying: "Frank, get the door!"
ENTER THE NATIONAL'S WESTMINSTER HALLOWEEN CONTEST
The performance caught the First Minister's eye, who tweeted in response that the young lad had given her a "much needed laugh".
Sturgeon wrote: "Thank you Alyson Welsh - this has made me smile and given me a much needed laugh this morning.
"What a wee star - I think we might draft him in for the daily briefings!"

The National is running its own costume contest this Halloween, but the young lad's effort were too focused on Holyrood to enter unfortunately.
If you and your family are bored cooped up on Halloween night, why not dress up as some of the most ridiculous (or sometimes even scary) elements of Westminster and send us a picture?
You can do so here. We're looking forward to seeing them all!
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
