AN Inverness six-year-old boy helped bring forward a UK-wide puzzle hunt while on a family holiday near Stirling.
Mylo Forsyth and his family, who live in Kiltarlity, were visiting Blair Drummond Safari Park yesterday when he spotted one of the 20 pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that BBC 1's scattered all across the country for their Giant Jigsaw challenge.
The family was visiting the lemur enclosure when young Mylo saw the giant foam jigsaw piece.
Mum Clair Forsyth (30) said that she didn't realise what it was at first: "I told Mylo not to touch it as it looked quite strange to me, but thankfully my husband Matthew was listening to Radio 1 in the car earlier so he realised what it was about. He was really excited too!
"We phoned the number at the back of the jigsaw piece and we were put through Radio 1's show.
"Mylo was so excited, he was mentioned on the radio and he got a round of applause. He was absolutely delighted and he can't wait to get back to school to tell his friends.
"It was really unexpected, you wouldn't think of finding it in the middle of a safari park."
Mrs Forsyth said that Mylo, who attends Kirkhill Primary, is also very keen on puzzles.
She added: "Later we were joined by Calum Leslie from BBC Radio 1 who came to collect the piece and bring it back to Brighton. My husband had the idea for a day rip but with a two-year-old along, I had to said no!
"As a reward Mylo got to feed the lemurs, he was so happy."
BBC 1's Giant Jigsaw challenge, which started yesterday (July 20), sees radio presenter Greg James coordinate the search efforts in a game which will win him back a seat at the Breakfast Show.
So far, eight pieces have been found, with updates being posted on Twitter and on BBC Radio 1's live blog.
Another piece was found in John O' Groats by Australian electrician Adam.
