The children were tasked with writing a speech dedicated to their heroes and Samuel took to the stage, explaining his dad was his favourite person. When he was asked where his dad was, he then pointed upwards, continuing:Poor Samuel. Our hearts are breaking ? #slo5yo pic.twitter.com/yxc48I6mCH

"In heaven. When he died, he wasn’t at home, he was in hospital."Samuel revealed he didn't see his dad when he died, except for when he was in "a big box that wasn't see through."
Later on in the episode, Sam called his dad on his "heaven phone" and when he finished off the brief conversation with, "love you, see you later", it finished people off altogether:Samuel’s phone call to his late dad is just everything ❤️ #slo5yo pic.twitter.com/prhcmptABu

Watched the Secret Life of 5 Year Olds tonight. What a lovely natured well adjusted child is Samuel ....... kind, compassionate, mature, articulate, clever and creative...... his mum must be very proud and I’m sure his dad was too.
