Nicola Sturgeon was taught the Baby Shark dance by a group of children in Edinburgh.

The First Minister was hosting Christmas party for young carers in the cabinet room at Bute House.

She had invited the children to say 'thank you' for the support they give to others.

During the festivities, the group took time to teach Ms Sturgeon the moves to the catchy song which has proved a hit with toddlers and children.

The First Minister was initially reluctant to share the footage, tweeting: "So a wee bit early, I know, but this afternoon was the annual Bute House Children's Christmas party - this year for some brilliant young carers.

"Great fun (though I hope the footage of them teaching me the Baby Shark song, with actions, doesn't surface any time soon!)"

However, she then changed her mind and posted the video showing her learning the moves.

She tweeted: "So I've been persuaded by some of the young people to reveal the Baby Shark footage - so here's the @scotgov Cabinet room like it has never been seen before."
