Taking to Twitter today, Adam wrote: "Anyone else banned there [sic] kid from watching horrid Henry or is it just us?"

Thankfully for the 30-year-old, his followers quickly flooded his account with replies confirming they had done the same thing with their children after they started copying the notorious pranksters behaviour.

Replying to one comment, Adam said: "Ted's literally turned into horrid Henry haha".

One follow tweeted: "I did!!!! My daughter turned into a right little bugger watching that" while another wrote: "Banned mine years ago. Absolute shit and no moral message whatsoever. Don't even let her touch the books."

A third agreed, writing: "I had to ban my two as well!!! It's awful! They were coming out with all sorts from moody Margaret!!!"

A fourth reassured Adam, telling him: "We've done this last week! Such a nightmare isn't it? Feel better it's not just us x".

Adam was bombarded with messages from fellow parents who have done the same thing
