When 25-year-old Londoner Harry McGurk arrived home after two years of travelling, it was the last thing his mother expected.

According to the Daily Mail, McGurk needed to return to Britain to apply for another passport, and decided to make it a surprise visit. 

Predicting that his mother's reaction might be worth recording, McGurk hands his phone to a friend as he enters his home in Fulham.

Announcing his entrance with a nonchalant 'Mum, my key still works,' McGurk sudden appearance results in his mother collapsing to the kitchen floor in hysterics, before hugging him while shouting profanities.

McGurk won't be hanging around for long however. Once his passport is renewed in March, he plans to fly off to Vietnam, and then New Zealand.
