Sick mum and son SING and DANCE in 'celebration' after setting fire to ex's home

Shocking footage shows the moment a mum and son 'gloated' and danced with joy after they set fire to her ex's home.

Adam Lloyd, 36, and his 56-year-old mother Jackie Lloyd recorded themselves 'dancing' as a houseboat in Runcorn, Cheshire went up in flames, in what was described in court as a "truly despicable act".

In the clips, shown at Chester Crown Court on Tuesday, Adam can be heard chanting "the roof is on fire" after setting light to a cushion on the barge using a cigarette lighter, with the resulting fire completely destroying the boat.
