A cheeky three-year-old girl who started helping her dad prepare family meals has gone viral – after launching her own hilarious cookery show.
Toddler Bella Fairhurst has thousands of fans around the world who love watching her drive dad Guy crazy with her mischievous antics in the kitchen.
The cute tot now stars in her own “Chef Bella” cooking show which runs every week on YouTube.
Adorable footage shows Bella getting her and Guy, who is a trained chef, in a right mess as they whip up their delicious creations.
In one hilarious clip, Bella sends butter shooting across the kitchen as she whisks it in a bowl.
Another shows Bella tucking into a huge chocolate cake just moments after Guy proudly places it on the kitchen counter.
Other videos show Bella giggling as she gets covered in flour as she makes dough for pizzas.
Bella also prepares Russian cheese pancakes called sirniki and impatiently flips a couple out of the pan before her dad says they are ready.
While making lamb meatballs Bella shouts “Fireman Sam!” as she drops the patties into hot oil.
Bella’s popular cooking shows now attract thousands of fans each week and her proud dad hopes his talented daughter will follow in his footsteps.
Guy, 34, who runs Fairhurst’s Catering in Leyburn, Yorks., said: “During lockdown in March and April last year my schedule was cut down to half it would usually be and I had a lot more time cooking at home.
“Bella was interested and would try to get up on the table and do things so I started guiding her, holding her hand while chopping and mixing things.
“Cooking is in the family as my dad is also a cook and she seemed to really take to it and enjoy doing it.
“As she progressed we started recording it and putting videos on our business page, then there was more and more interest in it and started doing more and putting them on YouTube.
“It’s spiralled after that and realised that people were getting pleasure out of watching it, seeing the family time and the kids getting hands on and getting cooking skills.
“It has just been really good fun and I think Bella’s a natural.
“Obviously she is a three-year-old so she is quite mischievous sometimes.
“Sometimes she feels the need to throw food about and gets excited.
“We have got these blunt children’s knives and we can give her one of them and she’ll cut strawberries, tomatoes and bananas in half.
“I would say for a three-year-old, when you think of some adults who can’t do that, I would say she is fairly good and her palate is impressive.”
Mini-chef Bella, who is bilingual in English and Russian thanks to her mum Elena, 29, has already shown a talent for creating wonderful dishes.
Her most mouth-watering creations include pork and BBQ sausage rolls, breakfast rosti with egg and tomato salsa, chickpea and veggie kofta, and minted lamb burgers.
Bella is also a dab hand at sweet treats like baked rhubarb cheesecake and peanut butter and banana pancakes.
The family also hope to launch Bella’s own cookery book in the next year.
