A mum tracked down a family from Sunderland who left a theatre show early due to people staring at them - and paid for their tickets so they could return.
Noor Stevens and her three children were watching Beauty and the Beast at the Sunderland Empire on Friday but left early due to the looks they were getting from people sitting around them.
The 35-year-old said her daughter Scarlett, eight, was singing and dancing along with the show and her four-year-old son Declan had opened a bottle of fizzy pop which had exploded, Teesside Live reports.
