A shop assistant determined to bring a bit of sparkle to the world is living a double life - as a fairy who claims to make dreams come true.
Gemma Beard, 22, works in a computer games store by day but spends her evenings and weekends dressed as Disney characters.
When the self-confessed Disney fanatic goes out dressed as Tinkerbell, Snow White, Rapunzel or The Little Mermaid, girls flock round her for photos but what she is actually doing is amazing.
She surprises ill children by visiting them in character, and even writes letters and sends presents to children in hospital who are too sick to have visitors.
She says…
I love putting smiles on children's faces. I love bringing children a bit of Disney magic.
'When they see me their eyes light up and they are just kids again. They think I'm the real thing and of course I stay in character.'
