A straight A student "looked utterly mortified" as his proud mother grabbed him for a kiss on the cheek live on BBC Breakfast.
One boy, Fraser, had just revealed his excellent results, achieving five As. “I’ve done fine,” he blushed.
Presenter Catriona Renton then spoke to proud mother Alison, who made a beeline for her son.
Wincing and trying to escape her clutches, Fraser begged: “Please don’t!”
With the red-faced teen shaking his head, Ms Renton said: “There you go, Fraser, that will embarrass you for the rest of your life.”
One viewer tweeted that the student "looked utterly mortified" as his mother kissed him on the cheek to congratulate him.
Another said: "Aah poor Fraser, I really felt for him!! (But would be the same with my kids too)."
Elizabeth Allen added: "Highlight of my day that! just love the emotion and pride from Fraser's mum. Well done to all the kids there."
Pupils in Scotland were finding out how they had performed in their National 4 and 5s, Highers and Advanced Highers exams.
