Old People's Home For 4 Year Olds viewers were in bits over a heartbreaking confession from one of the little girl's on the show on Monday.

Little Scarlett Pollard opened up on camera about losing her mum at just three-years-old, explaining that her loss had left her with 'a heartache'. Her mum, Sally Pollard, sadly passed away from cancer a year and a half earlier.

Scarlett's dad, Tim, believed that the Channel 4 social experiment, which sees four-year-olds head into an old people's home, would help his daughter with the grieving process:

The young girl has formed a close friendship with 85-year-old Beryl Poulson, and Scarlett shared her emotions with her new pal on this week's episode of the docu-series.

"I've got something to tell you." declared Scarlett as she snuggled up to Beryl on an armchair. "I have a heartache."

"You have a heartache? Oh dear," replied Beryl.

"OMG Scarlett saying she's got 'heartache'. She's 4!!! Poor girl," echoed a fourth heartbroken fan.
