A woman who was branded 'Mike Wazowski' by cruel school bullies after losing an eye has now been snapped up by a modelling agency. Katie Elliot, from Glasgow, had her right eye removed age four, when she was diagnosed with retinoblastoma - a rare eye cancer - after her mum spotted her pupil changing shape.
The 20-year-old was regularly reduced to tears as a youngster after comparisons with the one-eyed Monsters, Inc. character. But she says the comments have since made her "stronger" and she says she now feels "beautiful".
Following a year of treatment, Katie was given the all clear aged five but had to adapt to life without the vision in her right eye - and she was still able to pursue her favourite hobby of horse riding.
