The footage was recorded at their home in Fountain Hills, near Phoenix, Arizona. In the video, the pair are seen battling each other with plastic lightsabers, created for the Star Wars film franchise. The dad, sitting on the floor to be at the same level as his son, puts on some amateur dramatics as he waves his green jedi blade.

Red Bull may have given Boris Johnson wings, but the Mirror Chicken was there to ruffle his feathers. The Tory leader bumbled into the F1 car factory, where he was handed a racing jacket. But our feathered friend was waiting outside the plant in Milton Keynes, eager to remind him that he still hasn’t agreed to be interviewed by BBC rottweiler Andrew Neil. “Are you all squawk, Boris?” our poultry pal crowed at him. Security around the visit was tight. One police officer even warned the Mirror Chicken not to cross the road in front of the factory. Not even to get to the other side.
