Haven Holidays announces changes to its characters - and parents are angry

Parents and grandparents say their little ones are "broken-hearted" after a leading caravan holiday company has changed its popular children's characters. Haven, which operates 38 holiday parks including seven in Wales, has done away with popular Anxious the Elephant and Greedy the Gorilla characters and replaced them with new characters Annie and George.

The company has also replaced Bradley the Bear with a new character, which Haven says is "Bradley's niece", Jaz. The main member of "Seaside Squad", Rory, remains but sports a trendy new look and has a new "supersonic surfboard".

Sharing pictures of the new characters on social media on Thursday evening, a spokesperson said: "We’ve seen our Seaside Squad are making headlines so we want to introduce you to them directly. Meet Rory, Annie, George and newest recruit Jaz, taking over from her uncle Bradley and joining the squad. Keep your eyes peeled over the next few weeks as we reveal more."
