Meet the tot who would rather watch Only Fools and Horses over cartoons like Peppa Pig.

The pint-sized sitcom fan CJ, who turns one on January 26, has no interest in the usual children's programming.

Instead, he giggles along to Only Fools and Horses and even perks up at the sound of other British classics like Heartbeat and the Emmerdale theme tune.

CJ's mum Sarah Moloney, 31, says her son's unique love for the classic show began when his dad Craig Mortimer, 29, started playing the iconic theme song.

Sarah, a stay at home mum from Scariff, Ireland, said: "He started dancing to it, and now he's obsessed. "

"He sits on his dad's lap watching the episodes like he really gets it."

CJ's love for the sitcom began at six months when he first heard the iconic theme tune.

By ten months, he was happily sitting through episodes.

Sarah said: "He's not just drawn to the music anymore, he actually watches it now. "

"He even recognizes the characters."

Sarah finds the whole situation hilarious especially since she was never a fan of the show.

Sarah said: "People have joked that maybe I watched it while I was pregnant, but I didn't! "

"I've never been a fan of the show myself."

"This is completely CJ and his dad's thing."

Sarah thinks CJ might grow up to be a little Del Boy.

She said: "He's a very funny baby and always makes us laugh. "

"I wouldn't be surprised if his first words were one of Del Boy's catchphrases."
