A mother who left her three-year-old son playing quietly while she was upstairs blow-drying her hair was left shocked when she returned to find him covered in Nutella.
Clare Fallon, 32, from Hampshire, said she was only out of the room for 20 minutes when Harrison Bird covered himself.
She said after getting the pot from a low cupboard, Harrison had proceeded to smother himself in the brown sticky spread and splatter it around the room.
The mother-of-two had to call out an industrial carpet cleaner and had to shower Harrison for ten minutes to get him clean. She has since left the Nutella on a shelf he cannot reach.
Clare Fallon, 32, from Hampshire, was left shocked when she walked in on her 3-year-old son covering himself head-to-toe in Nutella, after she left him alone for 20 minutes
Clare said: ‘When I walked in and saw him I was very angry and shouted at him that his dad would be very angry at him.
‘I was shocked that he had managed to do this, when I was only out of the room for about 20 minutes maximum.
‘I quickly grabbed him and put him in the bath tub and showered the Nutella off of him, and luckily it came off quite quickly.’

She added: ‘But now I can’t help but laugh at the photo, I think it’s absolutely hilarious and everyone who has seen it thinks so too.’
After discovering that her son had covered both his body and the living room in Nutella, panic set in for Clare.
She said: ‘My first reaction was worry – we had just moved into a new-build house and I was worried what my boyfriend was going to say.

‘But Harrison continued to slap his thighs, and Nutella kept splattering all over the floor.
‘Luckily I managed to get a carpet cleaner to come round very early the next morning and the house was cleaned.
‘Now we’ve learnt our lesson to make sure that the Nutella stays on a higher level in the cupboard so he can’t reach it!’.
