Viewers at home also rushed to post on Twitter about the moment young Nathan, 10, was treated to a live performance by Britain’s Got Talent act Boogie Storm.
The treat was arranged to reward him for being an invaluable support to his mother, who is blind.
He was amazed by the sight of the dance trio, who were introduced into his classroom by Ferne McCann before bursting into a routine to Gangnam Style.
“Makes you quite emotional, doesn’t it?” Christine said afterwards.
