Presenter Gabby Logan was waxing lyrical over the achievements the 34-year-old has had this year, while little Hussein was causing havoc.
Sitting on his dad's lap, the youngster was constantly whining and moaning - totally oblivious to the fact they were being broadcast live.
His antics kept Farah at bay, and in an effort to distract him, he told his son "look, look, look," with Logan jokingly commenting "Mo, did you get any of that?"
Before adding: "I think Hussein’s getting more airtime than you at the moment."

Rhianna eventually deciding to take her sibling away, before her brother snapped by saying: "No I want Daddy!"
But things turned out OK for the Farah clan after Sir Mo ended up taking home the Sports Personality gong.
Many had predicted Anthony Joshua to be named the winner, with Lewis Hamilton also heavily tipped by the bookies.
But just as Farah was told of the news, the BBC's camera feed cut out, and the programme ended with viewers and the SPOTY audience staring at a blue screen as Clare Balding, Gary Lineker and Gabby Logan tried to talk their way out of the problem.
