A dad-of-two has found a genius way to keep his young sons occupied during the coronavirus lockdown - by freezing their favourite toys.

Thirty-eight-year-old Duncan Gillespie, from Yorkshire, United Kingdom, popped his kids’ treasured possessions in the freezer overnight before letting his sons try to free them.

Jem, five, and Bram, three, spent more than an hour on Tuesday (April 7) hacking away at the blocks of ice with only a spoon each to help them.
