How’s this for a first birthday present? Radio superstar Andy Lee has pulled off the most heart-warming stunt for his sister and her one-year-old son, George, by releasing a children’s picture book called Do Not Open This Book.

The hilarious offering was penned especially for Andy’s nephew George.

It was originally going to be printed as a one-off copy just for George but the 35-year-old decided to have it published so kids around Australia can all enjoy it.

And in typical Hamish and Andy fashion, the mischievous duo teamed up to unveil the surprise to Andy’s loved ones in the most amazing way.

In a video released on their website, Andy tricks his sister and George into thinking they’re heading out for a breakfast catch-up to celebrate the chubby-cheeked cutie’s milestone day.

Watch the moment Andy surprises his sister and George in the player above.

Andy’s sister couldn’t quite believe it.

“I really wanted to get him something special for his birthday so five months before I turned one, I started making a book for him,” Andy explains.

As they’re wandering down the street, Andy spots a bookshop and says, “There’s a book I actually wanted to get Georgie for his birthday.”

The trio wander in and a poker-faced Andy nonchalantly picks up his book, “there it is! It’s the one I wrote for George for his birthday.”

It looks like the birthday boy LOVES his book!

“Are you serious? Oh wow!” Andy’s sister remarks, before tearing up and hugging her thoughtful big brother.

Taking to Instagram, Alex gave a shout-out to her incredibly thoughtful brother alongside a sweet photo of George enjoying the book.

“It’s official – I’m the most spoilt sister on the planet. I have two brothers who are generous and talented and one of them just WROTE A BOOK for Georgie Boy’s first birthday. I’m actually still pinching myself,” Alex shared.

Appearing on The Project to discuss his surprise venture, the newly single star, who recently split from girlfriend Rebecca Harding, was also questioned about the persistent rumours he might be appearing on the next season of The Bachelor.

“Hamish has been sending this alight for as long as possible. Absolutely no! That would be my answer,” the funnyman explained.
