In lockdown Hannah McSorley shot to TikTok fame thanks to daily videos of the tadpoles she is looking after in a kiddie’s pool in her back garden.

She started off with a tongue-in-cheek estimate of ‘37,930 tadpoles’ just 79 days ago which have grown in recent weeks and will soon be froglets.

She has amassed over nine million likes on TikTok, and over half a million followers.

Here’s a glimpse of the journey so far:

This is where the 37,930 figure came from:
