Mum creates successful pyjama business despite 'horrible time in school' with bullies

A woman so severely bullied at school, she used to feign illness to avoid attending, now boasts hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram and has just launched her own pyjama brand.

The single mum, from West Derby, quit her life as a DJ and "panicked" about how she was going to support herself and her baby.
