So when her husband sent her a video of someone saying that their toddler had potty trained themselves after watching Ms Rachel's new video, she thought it couldn't hurt to try.
And imagine her surprise when just one viewing of the catchy video was enough to make her son start taking it seriously.
"I watched it today with my toddler and later, as he was eating a popsicle, he stopped and said 'I have a poop feeling', which is what Ms Rachel says in her video," she marvelled.
When he said that, she told him "let's go", took him to the potty and he did it.
"And wow everyone, Ms Rachel!" she said.
"I mean I'm sure we all know Ms Rachel for so many reasons, she is a real one!"
And in the comments, the mum quickly found out she wasn't the only parent to have found the Ms Rachel video a game changer.
"That episode completely changed our potty training journey too!" one wrote.
"Protect Ms Rachel at all costs!!
"MY ONE AND HALF YR OLD WATCHED IT TWICE- TWIIIIICE," another shouted.
Ms. Rachel reveals she secretly welcomed a baby girl via surrogate and announces 'sweet' name after YouTube absence
"He's been using the damn potty ever since- it's been like what a WEEK since it released?
"THANK GOD FOR THAT WOMAN!"
"My 22 mo watched the episode Thursday and by Sunday she had pooped in the potty," a third admitted.
"The video is brilliant. My toddler is only 18months and she's doing so well in her potty training," someone else wrote.
"We watched this episode for a few days and out of nowhere, my toddler is running to the bathroom saying, 'I have to potty!!!'" another gasped.
"How many times did he watch it before this happened???" someone else asked the mum.
Who is Ms Rachel?
SHE'S arguably the most famous person on kids' TV at the moment, and has just had a whole line of toys and booked released for her fans.
But just where did Ms Rachel come from, and how did she find fame?
Ms Rachel's real name is Rachel Griffin Accurso, and she worked as a music teacher in a public pre-school in New York before starting her YouTube channel.
The Songs for Littles channel was created after she discovered there were barely any resources for her son, who had a speech delay.
The tunes, made up from classic children's songs and nursery rhymes, with a twist, were composed by Rachel and her husband - Broadway composer Aron Accurso.
She also started on TikTok, where she acquired over two and a half million followers by March 2023.
She has also faced her fair share of controversy, such as when she offered to sell Cameo videos to raise money for Save the Children - mentioning the Gaza Strip, Sudan, Ukraine, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Rachel said she was "bullied online" for the move, and has since disabled comments on some of her Instagram, TikTok and YouTube posts.
The highly-anticipated Ms Rachel toys were released in September, and are expected to be one of the biggest sellers this Christmas.
To which she replied: "Just once!"
"What juju did Ms Rachel activate to get all these kids hypnotised into action???" another questioned.
With someone else replying: "I'm not a mum but let me tell you... I had my baby nephew while my brother and wife was out of the country and Ms Rachel saved my life!"

I tested £38 gadget to beat the salon and save my split ends – it blew my mind
With no time or cash to visit a salon, new mum Siobhan O'Connor tried out a trimmer that everyone's been talking about. Will it cut the mustard? HAIR THIS I tested £38 gadget to beat the salon and save my split ends – it blew my mind Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MY hair used to be pampered like royalty – regular trims, glossy blow-dries and a shelf full of fancy products to keep split ends at bay. But since becoming a mum in March, all that TLC has gone out the window. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Siobhan O'Connor's hair has been left to fend for itself between 3am feeds and the endless blur of nappies Credit: David Cummings 4 According to Luxmend, their £38 gadget only targets split ends, trimming away the frazzled bits Credit: David Cummings These days, I'm lucky if I get five minutes to run a brush through it, let alone book a salon snip. Between 3am feeds and the endless blur of nappies, my hair's been left to fend for itself, usually shoved into a dry-shampooed topknot that's more bird's nest than 'blowout'. The result? A record-breaking ten months without a trim and therefore more split ends than a Love Island recoupling. And while I dream of a head massage and glossy finish, the reality of juggling a newborn — and hearing my baby scream mid-hair wash — isn't exactly soothing. Add in the fact that my maternity pay is disappearing into nappies, wipes and babygrows, and a pricey haircut isn't an option any more. Days at home mean it's easy enough to ignore, but with a holiday coming up, my unruly mop needs taming before it hits airport security. So, on one of my early-hours TikTok scrolls, I came across a £38 gadget that promised to rescue my dead ends from the brink — a split-end hair trimmer by Luxmend, a British beauty website. The device — which looks like a typical hair straightener, but with scary teeth — has accumulated thousands of tried-and-tested videos, attracting more than two million views. Clip after clip showed users running the device over their frazzled ends, trimming just the damaged bits and revealing smooth, shiny strands underneath — within minutes. Finally, a hair fix I could squeeze in during nap time? I was sold. I tried incredible new air styler - it gave perfect curls with no heat and its a fraction of the price of Dyson Air Wrap According to Luxmend, the gadget only targets split ends, trimming away the frazzled bits without affecting your overall length. It works by feeding strands through a hair plate, which lifts any rogue, spiky ends and snips them off with built-in blades. The device comes with sectioning clips, a USB charger and a quick-start guide that recommends working in layers for the best results. Once charged, it powers up instantly, and to turn it off, you simply lock it shut. Easy enough. But I won't lie, I was nervous. The inner prongs look a little too aggressive for something gliding near my face. And the noise? Loud enough to make the baby stir. It doesn't exactly scream 'trust me'. So, before committing my split ends to Luxmend's blades, I did what any trend-follower would do — another TikTok deep dive. 'Unravelling rope' Cue panic. Among the glossy before-and-afters were horror stories — users showing clumps of hair inside the gadget's clear chamber, gasping as more than just their ends disappeared. Was this sleek little trimmer a miracle — or a mistake waiting to happen? Wes Sharpton, a hairstylist at haircare brand says: 'As professional stylists, we think of split ends like an unravelling rope — they travel up the strand and only a proper haircut can truly stop the damage from progressing. 'Split-end machines claim to remove frizz and damage, but in reality, they only trim the small hairs that stick out, and those hairs eventually reappear, leaving the hair still looking frizzy and uneven.' That being said, considering the current state of my locks, I was desperate — and convinced myself that if I just did the ends, I wouldn't have much to lose if it did go terribly wrong. 4 The device comes with sectioning clips, a USB charger and a quick-start guide that recommends working in layers for the best results Credit: David Cummings During my daughter's nap, I finally gave it a go. I started cautiously, pulling down a hidden layer of hair from underneath. That way, if it massacred my mane, I could at least cover the damage. Taking a section about an inch wide, I fed the last two to three inches through the trimmer, clamped it shut and slowly pulled it down. You can definitely feel the tension as it works — it doesn't glide like straighteners. There's a subtle resistance, like the machine is chewing through your ends — gently, I hoped. Once I reached the bottom, I flipped the gadget open and peeked through the clear chamber. Sure enough, it was filled with tiny chopped hairs — the kind that normally coat the bathroom sink when my partner trims his beard. I decided to tackle just one half of my head first, partly for damage control and partly to see if there was a real difference. It's surprisingly easy to do solo, but you can't rush it. I tried feeding in a thicker chunk of hair at one point and the device struggled to chomp through it. Working in smaller sections, I watched the clear chamber steadily fill up with little wisps of split ends. Weirdly, it became really satisfying and addictive. I didn't want to stop. The results do far? The freshly trimmed sections looked noticeably smoother, glossier and far less frizzy. Most of those pesky split ends had vanished, and with each section I got braver — thankfully without losing more than I intended. 4 Siobhan was wowed by results from trimmer Once half my head was done, the difference was obvious. One side looked sleek and fresh, the other still rocking the tumbleweed look. I was genuinely blown away that this £38 gadget managed to freshen up my frazzled ends in under 15 minutes. Sure, it's not quite the same as a salon experience, but let's be honest, neither is trying to wrangle a baby through a haircut. And in the meantime, it has bought me a few extra months of avoiding the hairdresser — and the hefty bill that comes with it. Pre-baby, I was paying as much as £150 per cut and £220 for a cut and colour, visiting the salon every four months. That's at least £400 a year, just to get it trimmed. The best bit about my new split-end saviour? You can whip it out whenever you've got a moment to yourself — even at 3am when the baby's asleep and you're wide awake. That said, my one piece of advice? Don't mention it to your hairdresser.

Celtic & Hibs Shine in Streaming Era Study of UK's Most Influential Football Songs
New research from BoyleSports ranks Scotland's top anthems in digital culture league table. Whether being sung in the stands of Celtic Park or bellowing on exit from Easter Road following a crucial win, Scottish football songs are holding their own in a digital culture dominated by YouTube, Spotify, and Instagram. Image: Celtic Park | Credit: Getty This study from the football betting team at BoyleSports assessed 16 of the UK's most iconic football songs. To measure the cultural impact of these football club anthems, data from three key digital platforms: YouTube (total views), Spotify (total streams), and Instagram (the number of times the anthem's sound was used in posts or stories) was gathered. Each anthem was ranked from 1 to 16 on each platform, with 16 representing the top-performing anthem. These rankings were then added together to give each anthem a combined score out of 48, so a higher total meant the anthem was performing well across all platforms. To make the results easier to understand and compare, these totals were then converted into a standardised score out of 100 by calculating what percentage of the maximum possible score each anthem achieved. Topping the list with a perfect score was 'You'll Never Walk Alone,' the iconic Rodgers and Hammerstein number embraced by both Liverpool and Celtic. With over 87 million YouTube views and 114 million Spotify streams, it remains a defining piece of both clubs' identity and proves its enduring emotional power far beyond matchday. Another standout came from Edinburgh, with Hibernian's beloved anthem 'Sunshine On Leith' finishing joint sixth overall. The Proclaimers' classic continues to spark viral moments thanks to its spine-tingling renditions at Easter Road – and its influence has now crossed into digital culture, backed by strong Instagram and Spotify numbers. Meanwhile, Rangers' 'Follow Follow' placed mid-table in terms of overall digital presence. Despite its traditional status and recognisable tune among fans, the track finished joint 13th, showing less traction across global streaming platforms compared to newer or more widely shared songs. Heart of Midlothian's entry, 'The Heart's Song,' placed 16th overall – a reminder that while tradition remains powerful locally, it hasn't yet translated into a wider digital presence like other UK anthems. A spokesperson for BoyleSports, who conducted the study, said: 'Football songs are more than just pre-match rituals – they've become cultural landmarks in the digital age. 'Songs like 'You'll Never Walk Alone' and 'Sunshine On Leith' continue to capture hearts and reach new generations through streaming and social media. 'These tracks aren't just sung in stadiums anymore – they're reimagined in Instagram stories, TikToks and Spotify playlists around the world.' Full rankings: Rank Anthem (Club) Overall Score (/100) 1 You'll Never Walk Alone (Liverpool & Celtic) 100 2 Local Hero (Newcastle United) 83 3 Dance Of The Knights/Elevation (Sunderland) 73 4 The Angel – North London Forever (Arsenal) 71 5 Glory Glory Man United (Manchester United) 69 6= Sunshine On Leith (Hibernian) 63 6= Mull Of Kintyre (Nottingham Forest) 63 8 Blue Is The Colour (Chelsea) 60 9 Palladio (Fulham) 56 10 I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles (West Ham) 52 11 Marching On Together (Leeds United) 42 12 Hi Ho Silver Lining (Wolves & Aston Villa) 40 13= Blue Moon (Man City) 25 13= Follow Follow (Rangers) 25 15 Z-Cars (Everton) 21 16 The Heart's Song (Heart of Midlothian) 8 Like this: Like Related
