A two-year-old Chris Whitty superfan has recalled her hilarious dream involving a ‘giant’ version of England’s chief medical officer putting her in a bin. 

Poppy became used to seeing him on her television during the coronavirus pandemic and quickly developed a love for him.

Her mother Charli Morgan puts her adoration down to Professor Whitty’s ‘koala-like face’. 

Journalist Ms Morgan has shared a video of her daughter excitedly saying the professor’s name as he appeared on television during a Number 10 press conference last month.

And now another video shows Poppy eating her breakfast as she revealed she had had a dream about Professor Whitty the night before.

She said: ‘I dreamed about Chris Whitty earlier. He was making breakfast for me in a naughty bin. 

‘I ran from the giant Chris Whitty. 

‘I ran to Chris Whitty’s house and then Chris Whitty stopped me and put me in the bin.’ 

The young girl’s face lit up as she finished her dramatic story while sitting at the kitchen table with a bowl of breakfast cereal in front of her.

Ms Morgan told BBC Berkshire: ‘It’s been a big part of her life recently. 

‘He’s bigger than Peppa Pig, he’s had so much screen time. 

‘He’s got quite a cute koala like face. 

‘ It’s combined with her love of Jack and The Beanstalk, hence the giant Chris Whitty.

‘As soon as she sees him she stops whatever she’s doing to appreciate him on the TV.’      

During the retelling she used a candle with the professor’s face on it, which a neighbour bought her for Christmas, to emphasise her point and her mother helped by asking ‘what happened next’.
