What a night for Mo Farah and his family. His young son Hussein was proving a handful earlier though 😅 #SPOTY 2017 pic.twitter.com/0v1iYTBzYf — BBC Sport (@BBCSport) December 17, 2017 UK Distance runner Mo Farah won BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year Award over the weekend, but it was his son who stole the show during the live interview that followed. Farah wasn’t able to accept the award in person, so he appeared on video. But Baby Hussein was not about to let his dad be great without a little acknowledgment. After upstaging the legend, Hussein was carried away by his older sister, Rhianna. In 1991, an 8 year old Somalian Muslim immigrant came to Britain barely speaking a word of English. @Mo_Farah now has a knighthood and wins the 2017 #SPOTY Take back your narratives.

Twitter also blamed Hussein for all the technical difficulties his dad experienced during the interview. Hit the flip.
