Sepuloni posted the clip on twitter and saying:

"That moment when you're doing a LIVE interview via Zoom & your son walks into the room shouting & holding a deformed carrot shaped like a male body part. Yes, we were almost wrestling over a carrot on camera, and yes, I'm laughing about it now but wasn't at the time!"

In the video, you can see Sepuloni pause the interview to wrest the carrot from his hands while he smiles and waves it around before triumphantly leaving the room with the carrot still in his possession.

She added in a following tweet: "A big up's to all our parents working from home and parenting at the same time - I see you! *Note to self: I will never buy the odd shaped carrot pack again."
