Fairy princess: How I created my dream job

Hayley Marie Ashley quite literally lives the life of a princess.

The mum-of-two surprises children at birthday parties when she appears dressed as fairytale characters.

The 29-year-old, from Stoke-on-Trent, set up her business, Wish Upon A Princess, three years ago while she was on maternity leave.

She wanted a job with flexible hours and a short commute so she could arrange her work around time with her young family.

Ms Ashley launched her business on social media and says she's living her dream.
