From the woman who convinced millions that she was the skater from the Super Bowl Halftime Show who fell off her pole, to the woman who flashed her boobs as she tried to climb through the window of her house, it's been another week of social media storms and viral hilarity - but also a reminder not to believe everything you see online!

We take a look at the human stories behind some of the most popular posts:

Births, deaths, marriages, break-ups and family life.

We love watching people share their personal moments on social media, with such posts often attracting hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of views.

On this week's show, we look at some of these viral videos from the past couple of weeks - and sometimes the unexpected backlash to them.

We also enjoy a couple of musical performances that have attracted millions of views, from the busker to the curry house owner!

Social media has been dominated by the Post Office Horizon IT scandal.

Some have vowed to boycott their local branches in protest, but subpostmaster and TikTok star Juliet Thomas Davies, of Anne Street branch in Llanelli, went viral after asking people to support their local post office now more than ever.

We were also moved by the Twitter plea from John Woodward, who's got 6 months left to live after being diagnosed with brain cancer, asking fellow users to "be more supportive of each other instead of hurling abuse which passes as debate".

Also on the show is the hilarious rant over Quality Street changing their wrappers, the drunk mum asking for a lift home from her kids, a 65-year-old dartboard and the man who foolishly thought he could beat a 400m athlete.

Or how the New York @mets responded to a man astonishingly throwing a beer between two apartment blocks.

And the teenager who's not hiding behind her birth defect on TikTok.
