One sweet little boy stole the hearts of a TV audience when he burst out crying on national TV. Young Guto Bell was given the award for the individual recital competition for Years 3 and 4 at the Urdd Gobaith Cymru, which is being held at Margam Park this half term. Guto Bell had tears running down his facel when he accepted the award, declaring he didn't actually want to perfom.
Accepting the award from Welsh presenter Mari Lovgreen, in Welsh and while crying, Guto admitted he was nervous about taking part. He said: "Thank you mam. I said that I didn't want to recite but then I tried my best for mam."
He then declared: "I love my mam loads" before getting a hug from Mari. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter .
Guto's mum was in the crowd at the Urdd Eisteddfod and was clearly moved by her son's sweet words. S4C, who captioned the video "Guto Bell, ti werth y byd," - he's 'worth the world', wrote that "We can't stop crying this is what Eisteddfod yr Urdd is all about."
Presenter Mari, who gave Guto a big cwtch, said: "You're worth the world.
"You've made mam so proud and you both are going to remember this forever.

"Go on Guto!"
The live audience of the Urdd Gobaith Cymru also found Guto's speech very touching, as did viewers at home when it was broadcast on S4C.
One said: "This was the sweetest thing I've ever seen! Such a star. We were all crying!"
Another added: "Awe so sweet."
A third said: "Bless his little heart".
