This is the moment a reckless teen risked his life 'tombstoning' off a notoriously dangerous cliff - next to coastguards staging a health and safety demonstration.
The youngster was pictured running towards the edge before leaping clear of the jagged wall and plummeting into the water - at a spot known as Dead Man's Cove.
But just metres away from the spot in Plymouth, Devon, coastguards were simulating a rescue to demonstrate the dangers of jumping from the cliff.
Plymouth Coastguard Rescue Team said its demonstration was overshadowed by the actions of the adrenaline-junkie youngster - and issued a fresh warning about the dangers.
Coastguard Rescue Officer Adam Hawson said: "Unfortunately there's not much we can do.
"It's a bit cheeky isn't it, if they know we're here it's a bit disrespectful.
"We tell them the risks and the hazards and if needs be we explain some of the things that have gone wrong. They do listen but they carry on and do it anyway."
The site has been a popular location for adrenaline junkies for many years with youngsters often queuing to jump from the 65ft cliff.
Several have been injured at the site and in 2016 a man died after misjudging his leap.

Once the rescue technician and dummy were safely back over the edge, a member of the Plymouth Coastguard Team immediately went over to talk to the tombstoners.
Coastguard station manager John Peattie said: "It is infuriating because we know the consequences but they just say 'you're spoiling our fun'.
"Go to a proper diving thing if you want to dive off something into the water but going off here is absolutely ridiculous.
"As long as people queue up and watch them or clap them - I've seen people clapping them - they'll continue to do it, just showing off to the girls, you know.
"We tell them if you saw the people that were in wheelchairs or crippled for life doing this from here, but they just say 'you're spoiling our fun.'"
Over the boader coastguard officers in Cornwall also re-issued a warning after a casualty with a suspected back injury was rescued from a quay after tombstoning.
Emergency services were called to Fowey on Saturday, June 22, and coastguard volunteers assisted paramedics in reaching the casualty.
St Austell Coastguard said: “The casualty needed extrication from the Quay to a waiting ambulance by stretcher.
“The team used their casualty care skills along with paramedic to successfully move the casualty from the pontoon into the waiting Fowey Harbour launch and take them to the slipway and the waiting ambulance."
They added: “We wish the casualty a speedy recovery.”
Video shows the moment a man picks up a massive stranded jellyfish with his bare hands

This video shoes the moment a brave bystander rescued a massive stranded JELLYFISH - by picking it up with his bare hands.
Kind-hearted Belal Almassri, 34, was on his way home following a business meeting when he spotted the huge creature stuck against rocks in shallow water.
He said he didn't want to see the animal suffer, so took it upon himself to set it free.
But he soon realised he'd have to lift it, so had to pick up the stinger and push it back out to deeper waters off Plymouth, Devon.
He said: "I was walking back from a meeting with my mate along the Barbican when we just saw this huge jellyfish, I have never seen anything like it.
"We could see it was stuck and the tide was going lower and lower, so someone had to do something about it.
"I went down and saw it was moving so I started pushing it out into the water.
"We watched it for about half an hour afterwards and it was definitely moving so I think we managed to save it.
"It was so heavy I couldn’t lift it myself."

Belal, who is originally from Palestine, was wary of the jellyfish's tentacles which can deliver a painful sting.
But, fortunately for him, the worst injury he picked up was a small cut on his foot from a sharp rock.
"Some people did warn me that it could sting me or be dangerous but I am aware that there is a certain way of holding – not from underneath," he said.
"I took it from its head and pushed it away.
"I was not really scared. The water was very cold though!
"When I got out I realised I had a cut on my foot but it was nothing serious."

28-year-old donkey which gave rides to thousands of children has been found stabbed by its owner.

A 28-year-old donkey which gave rides to thousands of children has been found stabbed by its owner.
Bimbo, one of Greenwich’s beloved Blackheath donkeys, was found bleeding from his side on Friday by one of its minders.
The wound has since become infected and the old donkey has taken a ‘turn for the worse’ in past few days, his owner said.
The oldest in the herd, Bimbo is in a state of shock and has contracted laminitis, a disease similar to thrombosis in humans.
Owner Lorayne Ahmet visited Bimbo after one of his minders raised the alarm.
She said: “I cut back the hair surrounding the wound and found a straight cut. It could have only been from a knife.
“I felt sick when I saw the wound. Who could do this to a donkey?”
“I called the vet and she confirmed Bimbo had been stabbed.”
Lorayne looks after the group of donkeys in memory of her father Len Thorne who died in 2012.
Len had run rides on Blackheath, near Greenwich park in London for 65 years as part of a family tradition dating back to the 1800s.
Lorayne, who is awaiting Bimbo’s blood test results, said: “I call him the Victor Meldrew of the donkey world. He is always on his own and looks grumpy, but never is.
“Dad would have been devastated if he knew what had happened to Bimbo. He was his favourite and led him at his funeral.
“He was doing really well until yesterday. He is now very subdued and in a lot of pain. He spends all day in the corner with a ‘lay off’ look on his face.
“He won’t eat his antibiotics so we are having to manually syringe them into his system.”

The herd had lived for nearly 30 years in a field surrounded by six foot fences.
But in 2012 they were moved on after then Mayor of London Boris Johnson decided to build the Greenwich Equestrian Centre on the spot as an Olympic legacy.
The donkeys are now in a field in Eltham, south east London, with shorter fences which leave the herd open to outsiders.
Lorayne said: “The shorter fences was dad’s main worry when we were moved on from Shooters Hill.
“Most of the donkeys are quite shy, but Bimbo is domesticated so I think that’s why they went for him.
“There have been a few stabbings in Eltham of late and I have seen youths messing around with the donkeys. I think one of them could have stabbed Bimbo as a gang initiation task.
“I’d like to get my hands on them, put them in a field and let the general public do what they want with them.
“Anyone who harms an animal, child or elderly person needs to be locked away and the key thrown away.”
Lucy Morris, the donkey minder who found bimbo, has set up a go fund me campaign to cover the vet bills and install taller fences around the field. It has raised more than £2000.
Loyrane added: “I am overwhelmed by people’s comments and donations and I thank them from the bottom of the heart.
“My dad would have been delighted that people remembered him and his donkeys.”
Loyrane reported the incident to the police and is waiting for them to get back to her.
PUT HIS FOOT IN IT - Footage shows a man allegedly on the run from police hiding in an attic - before falling directly onto a waiting officer
Image by: Matty Walsh
This funny video shows the moment a man who was allegedly hiding from police in an attic fell through the ceiling - leaving his leg dangling inches above a waiting officer.
Matty Walsh, 24, was at a party with some friends when he heard a banging at the door and someone shout "police" - at which point one of the group vanished.
He said that he had no idea who the man was, how he got there, or where he went when the police knocked on the door in Rochdale, Manchester.
But he said police came in and declared they were looking for an alleged suspect - before there was a loud creak from the ceiling.
A hole appeared in the roof and plaster rained down on the police officer as a man's leg appeared through the ceiling.
Matty, from Rochdale, Manchester, said: "We heard a cracking and the police said, 'who's in the roof'?
"The next thing a foot comes in and the plaster comes down and almost hits the copper on the head.
"There was no way out and he came down when they went to get him, there was no way out so he just gave up.
"We were all having a laugh about it, I don't know what the coppers thought of it."
As Matty filmed the two officers interviewing a party goer on the sofa on the opposite side of the room, a loud creak can be heard coming from the roof.
Matty, a builder, said he realised what was happening and filmed the incident on May 31, to put on Snapchat.
A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police confirmed that a man had been arrested at the party following an earlier domestic assault
They said: "Shortly after 02.00am on Saturday, June 1, officers responded to reports of a domestic assault in Rochdale.
"A male was detained at a nearby house in Ennerdale Road and arrested on suspicion of assault and breaching a restraining order."

From Russia with love: Four-year-old girl's message in a bottle travelled 5,000 miles from Spain to MOSCOW
Image by: Jake McPherson
A four-year-old British girl who threw a message in a bottle into the sea in Spain was stunned to receive a reply - from a couple in MOSCOW.
Taylor Powell tossed the bottle into the water on the third day of her holiday in Santa Susanna near Barcelona.
She included a picture of herself and a note which read: “If you find this picture, please respond with a name of your country and a picture."
And she was amazed when her dad Ritchie, 31, received a text from a couple named Sasha and Alex who said they found it in Moscow's Moskva River.
They sent a photograph of Taylor's note along with a Google Maps image showing their location and a note signed ‘From Russia with love’.
Experts reckon the only way it could have made the journey by sea was to travel at least 5,000 miles across the Bay of Biscay, around the Shetland Islands and across the North Sea.

Ritchie said: "When I told Taylor someone had replied to the message, her face completely lit up. She was so happy.
"I asked them to send proof and received a pin of their location to my phone. We were absolutely ecstatic.
“We told Taylor her the bottle will pass by mermaids and sharks - for it to turn up in Moscow is magical for her. She’s so excited."
Ritchie and Taylor, from Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, were on a four-day holiday to Santa Susanna, 37 miles from Barcelona on Spain’s north east coast.
They were joined by Ritchie’s girlfriend Milly Templeton-Browne, 22, who helped Taylor pen the letter, which included her dad's mobile number and read:
“Hello my name is Taylor Powell, I am four years old and on holiday in Spain with my daddy.
“If you find this picture, please respond with a name of your country and a picture.
“Love Taylor xxx”
Their hotel was situated beside the seafront - and she dispatched the bottle on May 19.
Car salesman Ritche said: “Taylor made a wish when she threw the bottle into the sea.
“She kissed it and said ‘I wish I could be a mermaid’."
Ritchie and Milly, an administrator at Weston College, were driving to Parklife festival in Manchester on June 7 when they received the text from a Russian mobile number.
It was accompanied by a picture of Taylor’s note held in a woman’s hand and a Google Maps pin showing their location.
The text read: "We hope your holiday in Spain was great - from Russia with Love, Sasha and Alex.”

The dad-of-one posted the story on his Facebook page - and received more than 300 likes with dozens of heartfelt messages.
Dr Adrian New, a scientist at the National Oceanography Centre, said it is possible for the bottle to have reached Russia by water.
This would involve it travelling around Portugal to the Bay of Biscay and up to Rockall Trough, west of Ireland.
The bottle would then float around the northerly tip of Scotland to the Shetland Islands before entering the North Sea.
Next, it would transition into the Baltic Sea before arriving at western Russia and continue north-eastwards along the north-western coast of Norway - arriving in Northern Russia.
However, Dr New said he would expect the journey to take “longer than just one month”.
He said: “From Spain there is a generally northwards current called the Shelf Edge Current (SEC) which runs along the upper regions of the continental shelf break.
“This is where the shallow shelf sea waters get suddenly deeper and plunge down typically from 100-200m depth to 4000m depths or so.
“The SEC is usually in water depths around 500m or so.
“This could take the bottle northwards along Portugal, around the shelf break in the Bay of Biscay, then up through the Rockall Trough west of Ireland, then up to the north of Scotland and Shetland.
“Here it could then either turn southwards into the North Sea and possibly transit into the Baltic and then arrive in western/southern Russia, or it could continue north-eastwards along the north-western coast of Norway and from there arrive in Northern Russia.”
Disney owners Marvel reject a dad’s desperate plea to put Spider-Man on his four-year-old son’s grave
Image by: Jon Mills
Disney has blocked a grieving dad’s desperate wish to put a picture of Spider-Man on his four-year-old son's grave - because they want to preserve the 'innocence' of their hero.
Spider-Man superfan Ollie Jones tragically lost his lengthy two-year battle with a rare genetic disorder last year, and his family gave him a superhero-themed funeral.
But when his grieving dad Lloyd Jones tried to get permission for an etching of his son's favourite superhero, Spider-Man, on his gravestone, he was told by the council to contact the character's owners - children's entertainment giant Disney.
The Walt Disney Company - which owns the Marvel franchise - refused to give the go-ahead because they wanted to preserve “innocence” and “magic” around their characters.
A rejection email from the US-based giant offered the devastated family, from Maidstone, Kent, a "personalised cel" showing a scene from Spider-Man with a hand-written message to Ollie.
Lloyd wanted the Spider-Man image to remind him of Ollie when he visits the grave at Maidstone cemetery in Kent.
Dad Lloyd was baffled by the movie giant’s ruling who thinks it was “all about money.”
The dad-of-six said: "I really wasn't expecting this - it's another massive blow.
"I felt sure they would allow it."
Lloyd said the movie firm is trying to “disassociate their characters with death.”
He added: “That makes no sense to me - characters die in their films all the time.
"I think this is all about money.
"Ollie's last holiday was at Disneyland.
"He loved Spider-Man and we had bought him all the toys.
"But now he has died and we won't be spending any more money, they don't care."

Ollie passed away last December after a two-year battle with leukodystrophy, a rare genetic disease, also shared by his six-year-old sister Laillah.
His funeral was led by the Marvel character and featured a horse drawn carriage decorated in red and blue balloons.
Writing on Facebook to rally support to reverse the decision, Lloyd said: “Kids only matter to Disney when there alive and spending money with them.”
Lloyd's brother Jason Jones, 37, communicated with Disney on his behalf because the dad was struggling to deal with his son's death.
A representative from The Walt Disney Company's permissions department wrote: "We extend our sincere condolences. If we played a small part in Ollie's happiness we are honoured.
"Generations of fans have responded to our characters with the same wonder and delight that Ollie did. In fact, many believe the characters to be real.
"We have striven to preserve the same innocence and magic around our characters that brought Ollie such joy.
"For that reason, we follow a policy that began with Walt Disney himself that does not permit the use of characters on headstones, cemetery or other memorial markers or funeral urns.
"Although we cannot grant the family's request, we would be pleased to commemorate your nephew with a hand-inked, hand-painted, personalized that recognises his love for Spider-Man, which will read: 'For your _______ (nephew's name), Thank you for letting us share in the magic of your life. Your friends at the Walt Disney Company.
"We feel privileged to have had him as a fan.'"
Ollie's uncle Jason said: "This meant everything to us.
"My brother's life has been shattered, it has shattered the whole family.
"We can't move on until we have his headstone done - Spider-Man was Ollie's entire life. He loved it so much.
"I didn't expect it to be an issue - my funeral director, who's also my friend called me and told me they can't do it. I thought he was joking at first.
"We understand copyright but I don’t see why Marvel would have any issues with this.”
A Maidstone Borough Council spokeswoman said they would do “everything they can” to help the family.
She added: "Maidstone Borough Council is trying to help a family who have asked whether they can place a Spider-Man headstone at the grave of their young son.
"Sadly, these types of stones have to adhere to copyright and while we understand this is a very emotional time for the family we have made contact with Marvel to ensure the family are complying with their terms and conditions.”
Meanwhile, an online petition by Lloyd’s old school friend Michael Farrow urging Disney to change its mind has gained more than 1600 signatures.
And Lloyd was moved by an offer by Maidstone building firm Gallaghers to donate the headstone if permission was granted.
Ollie died of leukodystrophy which effects one in 40,000 people in the UK, and is brought on by a genetic fault affecting the brain, spinal cord and surrounding nerves.

Little girl born without irises is forced to wear sunglasses every day as she can’t stand light
Image by: Adam Harnett 
Image by: Adam Harnett
A little two-year-old girl is forced to wear sunglasses everyday because a rare condition means she is super sensitive to light.
Little Rhiannon Kay was born with no irises - the coloured bit surrounding her pupils - meaning her eyes are completely black.
The condition as aniridia means that she cannot control the amount of light going into her eyes and too much light can cause her pain.
Even in winter the toddler has to wear a hat and specialist, super-tinted sunglasses because she is unable to control the amount of light entering her eyes.
At home her parents have blinds drawn during the day to dim the light in their rooms and have a special tint on their car's windows.
Her parents Teresa Kay, 36, and Vaughan, 38, were first made aware of a problem with their daughter's eyes shortly after she was born on September 28, 2016.
The mum from Norfolk explained: "When she was first born, the doctors were doing checks and they said there was something wrong with her pupils.
"They said she didn't have irises. We didn't know exactly what it was at first."
The couple feared their daughter was blind because her eyes didn't follow the light.
But soon Rhiannon was diagnosed with aniridia, a rare genetic condition which affects just two people in every 100,000.
Not only would this limit how much light the toddler could comfortably see but the parents were also told the condition could cause kidney cancer.
Teresa said: "It was terrifying because we didn't know whether she was going to get cancer. You're supposed to be enjoying this time with your baby but we were terrified.
"When she was younger her eyes would roll constantly.
"She would look through the right of her eye to look straight where her eyes shake the least."
It was then that the parents were told their daughter had also developed nystagmus, also known as involuntary eye movements, due to her condition.
Rhiannon also developed cataracts and may suffer from other eye conditions in the future.
Despite her condition, Rhiannon can still see things close up but struggles seeing things in the distance.
Although there is a newly-developed treatment abroad where synthetic irises can be fitted, the parents are reluctant to put Rhiannon's eyes through too much surgery.

They also fear the synthetic irises are "static" which could make things much worse for their daughter's eyes.
Teresa continued: "It is very rare she will be outside without sunglasses on.
"She is so sensitive to light so all the windows in our car are tinted. If she did go out without sunglasses then it would be painful and uncomfortable for her.
"The things she struggles with at the moment are depth perception so she can trip up and fall over things.
"She goes to pre-school every week and they try not to change the layout of the room too much.
"We think she struggles to see things in the distance. She's able to feed herself and play with her toys. She enjoys watching TV and playing with her Disney toys.
"But her hearing is so precise, she can hear a car pull up outside our house while I can't hear a thing."
Rhiannon's condition however has prompted some cruel comments from passer-bys who walk past and see the toddler wearing shades in the winter.
Some are baffled by the sight while others compare her to the musician Elton John because of the sunglasses she is wearing.
The mum explained: "We do get comments, some just see a girl getting ready for summer in winter and some people say: 'Oh they look really cool'.
"Even when she was a tiny baby people would say things like: 'Why on Earth are you putting those on her?'
"It is just people making comments every single day. Some are just normal glasses but some are opticians glasses with tinted lens but even then we get comments.
"Mostly I just bite my tongue but sometimes we will tell them the reason.
"It's just about trying to change those sort of things people say because the comments can be thoughtless and cruel. It can be really hurtful."
But the family refuse to let the comments affect their happy little girl who Teresa described as "full of life."
Despite the fact that the family can't go abroad on a summer beach holiday, Teresa said she would never want her daughter to miss out on anything.
Teresa said: "We would not go on a beach holiday because of the sun and the glare on the sea and sand but we go to our local beach.
"We never want to stop her from doing something, we just have to make adaptions.
"She's just amazing, the chattiest little two-year-old ever. She's full of life."
In a bid to raise awareness of the rare condition and to also raise some money, the couple have got a number of fundraising events lined up.
They have already competed in the Tour De Broads 100-mile route in May and the Norwich Cycle Swarm's 70 miles on July 7, raising over a grand.
But it's not over there because they've got another 100-mile route on August 18, and the overnight Dusk Til Dawn 12-hour Mountain Bike Night Race in October.

RAGING BULL - Farmer says he 'has no beef' as he is reunited with the prize-winning bull which trampled him after being spooked by an opening umbrella
Image by: JP Yorkshire Evening Post 
Image by: Alex Cousins SWNS
The farmer trampled by his prize-winning bull at an agricultural show was reunited with the animal today - and revealed it had been 'spooked' by the opening of an umbrella.
Show-goers looked on in horror as Willy Barron, 61, was dragged along the ground and knocked unconscious by Limousin bull Barrons Olso, who weighs almost one tonne.
Miraculously Mr Barron survived serious injury during the incident at the Great Yorkshire Show in Harrogate on Tuesday.
Today the farmer was reunited with 16-month-old Barrons Olso at the showground.
He told how the animal was spooked by a spectator's opening umbrella which caused him to slip on a ramp.
Barrons Oslo was photographed as he then charged into his handler, striking him on the head, and dragging him along the ground as shocked viewers watched on.
Mr Barron, who bred and reared the bull, was knocked unconscious for a few seconds after suffering a blow to the head and had four stitches behind his ear.
The farmer from Burnhope, County Durham, has defended Barrons Oslo, saying he meant "no malice".
He said: "Apparently an umbrella opened in front of us as we were walking together, which startled the bull.
"When that happened he slipped on the ramp and that really unnerved him.
"He just wanted to be away from the area at that point, so he ran. I remember being dragged along the floor before being hit in the head and going unconscious.
"I came round after a few seconds and got some treatment."

Mr Barron added: "There was no malice in the bull whatsoever.
"It was just those two things startled him within the space of a few seconds.
"If it was only the umbrella that went up he would probably have been fine, but he slipped as well and that scared him."
Mr Barron, who breeds pedigree Limousin bull at his property, Morrow Edge Farm, said: "I certainly have no hard feelings about what happened, it's just one of those things.
"He's a really good bull and we're both absolutely fine.
"I have seen the same kind of thing happen to other people before, just not to myself."
The incident happened on Tuesday (11/7) at around 9.45am, moments after Barrons Oslo was crowned champion in the Great Yorkshire Show's British Limousin class.
Mr Barron had to be stretchered away from the area and transported to Harrogate District Hospital, where he was treated.
He said the loose bull was caught by someone seconds after he bolted and led to a nearby shed to calm down.
After being discharged by doctors, Mr Barron made his way back to the showground to check on Barrons Oslo.
Prior to the incident Barrons Oslo placed first in his class and won three prizes, including 'best junior exhibitor bred male' and 'best British Limousin animal exhibited by a North Eastern Limousin Breeders Club member'.

Couple kicked out of their home by the council - after skipping out on paying their rent - to splash their benefits on TAKEAWAYS
Image by: KM Group
A couple dubbed 'Wayne and Waynetta Slob' have been made homeless by the council after skipping out on paying their rent - to splash their benefits on TAKEAWAYS.
Fast food-loving Daniel Eyers, and his eight-month pregnant partner Lucrezia Worrell, were forced out of temporary accommodation with their four children after being turfed out of their council flat for not paying the rent.
But when Medway Council investigated why the couple had fallen behind on the rent for their flat, in Chatham, Kent, they discovered the greedy pair forked out up to £40 on takeaways every week.
Daniel, 32, says he cannot work because he needs to take his children, aged five, four and two-year-old twins, to school, and Lucrezia, 27, is set to give birth any day.
But the jobless dad, who said Indian and Chinese takeaways were his favourite, hit back and, while admitting being late paying the rent, said he "always pays the money that's owed".
He said: "We like to treat the children once a week to a takeaway.
"They don’t usually get much, so it’s a nice treat.
“It was my son’s birthday the other month and we spent £45 but were told by the council we were spending money on non-essentials rather than paying rent.”
Medway Council officials asked them to provide their bank statements after they failed to keep up with the rent.
Officers told them they had made themselves "intentionally homeless" after the receipts revealed they paid for takeaway orders instead of the rent.
They had left a property in Chatham, Kent, in April after receiving a section 21 notice, meaning their landlord wanted to end the tenancy, in June 2018.
They have been in emergency accommodation in Gillingham, Kent, since but were recently told by the council their case for housing in Medway was being reviewed.
Daniel and his partner had to send over their bank statements where the takeaway app payments were uncovered, and have since been asked to leave the temporary council accommodation.
He said he’s been offered a house in Tyne and Wear, in the north east of England, by the early help team, but wants to stay in Medway.
He said: “I’ve been a Medway resident my whole life.
"It was hard enough being moved from Chatham to Gillingham as my children go to school in Chatham.
“I couldn’t get a job as it meant my children would miss out on school, as I have to drive them there everyday.”
Mark Breathwick, head of strategic housing at Medway Council, said support was provided to Daniel before he was evicted and the council has continued to help him since.
He added: “Emergency accommodation is provided to people where appropriate.”
Bailiffs turned up at the house on Monday while Daniel and Lucrezia were on the school run.
The family are currently staying at Daniel’s mother’s home and have no idea where to go next.
Web commenters were less than supportive of the jobless pair.
Kirstin Vincent wrote: "If neither of thema re working, and are currently a family of six, then how can they afford to spend at least £160-a-month on takeaways?
"They must eat very little else.
"They need to learn about financial management quite swiftly. Good luck to them."
Facebook user Kaherlah Wilks said: "Many a moon ago when I was on benefits, with two young children, I couldn’t afford takeaway.
"My treat was a pack of basic custard cream and a tin of chicken curry.
"The sad thing is, I’m not even joking."
Many others compared the pair to Wayne and Waynetta Slob - a filthy pair of benefits scroungers who featured heavily in smash hit sketch comedy show Harry Enfield and Chums.
James Taylor added: "Tough luck, Wayne & Waynetta."
Mum found five-year-old daughter stuffing her face with birthday cake she’d stolen from the living room

This adorable video shows the moment a mum found her five-year-old daughter stuffing her face with an entire birthday cake she'd stolen from the living room.
Five-year-old Bethany Pitcaithly Nelson pinched her mum Sharon's 50th birthday cake, after it was left on a table following the party.
Sharon discovered her daughter sat in the hallway in her nappy, shoving the massive cake into her mouth.
Home carer Sharon said she found it so funny, she couldn't resist taking a video of cheeky Bethany, in their home in Auchtermuchty in Fife, Scotland.

Sharon said: "The previous night, my children and all my family held a surprise 50th birthday party for me, and when I got home I left it on the living room table.
"It had been a fun but boozy night. I was a little tipsy.
"Bethany went into the living room the next evening, reached up, pulled the box off, then went into the hallway to hide and eat it.
"It was almost a full birthday cake. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw her.
"Once I stopped filming, I sat down and had a bit of cake with her as well!"
Bethany tucked into the cake at around 9pm on June 16.
Sharon said mischievous Bethany gets into all sorts of bother when her mum's back is turned, and has even broken four TVs in six months.
