A two-year-old Chris Whitty superfan has regaled her mother with a tale of her dream involving a ‘giant’ version of the scientist putting her in a bin.
Poppy became used to seeing the Chief Medical Officer for England on her television during the coronavirus pandemic and quickly developed a love for him that her mother Charli Morgan puts down to the scientist’s ‘koala-like face’.
Journalist Ms Morgan shared a video of her daughter excitedly saying the professor’s name as he appeared on her television during a Number 10 press conference last month.
Another video showed Poppy eating her breakfast as she revealed she’d dreamt about Professor Whitty the night before.

The footage quickly went viral with the Chris Whitty Appreciation Society even sending Poppy a mug with her hero’s face on it. A photograph shared by her mother shows Poppy, whose surname was not revealed, grinning wildly as she cradles the mug
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.
The mug sent to Poppy from The Chris Whitty Appreciation Society. For Christmas Poppy’s neighbour bought her a candle with the scientist’s face on it
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’.

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.’
