The three-year-old became an honorary fifth X Factor judge for his proud father, as Simon Cowell turned to him for some advice.
Following The Cutkelvins’ performance of Show Me Love, Simon looked over at the toddler who gave a big thumbs up.
Naturally, the music mogul took his son’s approval and gave the trio one of his coveted six chairs.
Viewers immediately took to Twitter with excitable posts as Eric melted hearts up and down the country.

“Eric's getting prepped to take over the music empire,” teased one more, which was followed by: “Eric is so freaking cute.”
A fifth sobbed: “Why did I just cry at how cute Eric and Simon are together?”
