Mum and son sang 'the roof is on fire' after setting light to her ex's home

An arsonist filmed himself setting light to the home of his mum's former partner and then continued to film the pair dancing and singing as it went up in flames. Adam Lloyd videoed the whole thing as he and his mum sang "the roof is on fire" as the blaze spread.

Adam, 36, holds a lighter to some fabric as he says "fire bomb bro" and "that's me ma by the way dude". The clips were shown as the pair faced a crown court this week.

Having set the fire, Adam turned the camera on himself and Jackie, 54, reports the Liverpool ECHO. As the fire takes hold, Adam shouts “oh yeah”, and puts his arm around his mum.
