We were honoured to chat to Rebecca, the mum of TikTok star Harry, who has been enthralling millions of people with his videos about his multiple health conditions, love of dinosaurs, and life as a teenager.

They're raising money for the researchers who are investigating his genetic condition, called NBAS: https://www.justgiving.com/page/rebecca-ellis-1698474212706

We also talk about the lovely family moment a grandfather sings a bride down the aisle.

And the upsides of fame: the man who quit his council job to play Football Manager and a journalist who ended up with a VIP card for her local Chinese takeaway.

Be in no doubt: Twitter is still capable of lovely moments.

When sports apprenticeship tutor Andrew Ruscoe suddenly lost his job a couple of weeks ago, he was inspired by the story of Ryan Reynolds and local club Wrexham to use the social media platform for good.

His self-shot video asking for help with finding work has attracted over a million views - and he's been floored by the positive response to it.

We chat to him about a turbulent couple of weeks for him.

You can see Andrew's full video on his Twitter account: twitter.com/andrewruscoe

We know that food can bring people together, so it's no surprise to see content about meals going viral - from trying Indian for the first time to giving young children an authentic Mexican experience.

Fans of Taylor Swift have been getting millions of views for their posts about her relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce, including a fan account getting over 30 million views for eating some chicken with 'seemingly ranch' sauce.

It's also been a week of candid sharing, from a Conservative Party supporter revealing he was dumped for his political allegiance, a police officer confronted over dropping sandwich crusts and a content creator finding levity after the death of his mum.

Enjoy the Pop Crave interview with the Taylor fan account here: https://popcrave.com/seemingly-ranch-swiftie-reacts-to-viral-moment/

Social media can be a lot of doom and gloom, but this week has shown its enjoyable side.

Take for example, the kind hearted locals in Preston to a large group of kids when a train is cancelled at night and the local woman who reunites a man with his much-loved walking stick left on a station platform.

Or how Kiefer Sutherland's generosity helped a waitress pay her month's rent and TikTok star Brandon Sloane buying gifts for an entertaining child in a store.

And we also hear from the TikTok star Isodope who's making her love of nuclear power go viral.

There's nothing like the love shared by a parent with their children. We adore seeing videos that celebrate this relationship - and many go viral. 

Take the story of single mum Monique Meza whose TikTok of her son Jiovanni Herrera dressing up as her for fun got millions of views. 

Or the dad of Chopsy, the five year old Sheffield United fan whose away day video of her with him captured the hearts of the football community.

But sadly, some parents have been accused of exploiting their children for views, like content creator Jordan Cheyenne, who told her son to cry more when filming their reaction to their pet dog being diagnosed with a serious illness.

We also update you on the Love Surge couple, after Liliana White went viral again for a tearful video highlighting the appalling abuse she received online.

On a happier note, we celebrate the phenomenon of Tube Girl, Sabrina Bahsoon, whose dancing videos have led to her starring at London Fashion Week - but in the case of @TurnItToni, it's hard to pull off the perfect TikTok on the London Underground...

A common theme of love and loss emerged on this week's show.

From the divisive Love Surge and why Stephen King was threatened with divorce over Mambo No5, to losing your late husband's wedding ring, a date stealing your $1,000 shoes, or leaving your prized violin on the bus before the Proms.

Also, the mysterious tale of the haunted painting that raised hundreds of pounds for a Hastings charity and why we stan the BBC's Maryam Moshiri.

Sometimes some things look too good to be true, like Liverpool manager sshing back the Newcastle assistant Jason Tindall; or too bad to be real, like Donald Trump claiming he's the same weight as US sportstars; or until you look closely, you realise how funny the fakery is, like pop star Dua Lipa pretending to grill prawns on a BBQ...

All these stories are covered this week, including two viral videos of amazing fatherly moments: introducing your child to their newborn sibling and standing in a car park in the pouring rain so your daughter can listen to Taylor Swift (with a lovely heartwarming chat with the dad, Dan)
