A ground crew member at Toronto’s Pearson Airport put on a Christmas dance show last weekend, to the delight of passengers on a plane taxiing ahead of departure.

To the sound of uncontrolled giggling, 28-year-old ramp agent Jahmaul Allen danced as he guided the plane.

Speaking afterwards on Canadian TV network Global News, Mr Allen said he was inspired to do the dance because of a baby he saw on the plane, saying he was trying to entertain her.

The video has been viewed hundreds of thousand of times since it was first shared online.
