A primary school teacher got caught up in a web of lies when she told both her colleagues and students in an assembly that a loved one was dying of cancer.
Lauren Green worked as a class teacher and an investigation found that, for years, she accepted gifts, hampers and large donations of cash raised by charity fundraisers held at the school.
Ms Green, who worked as a teacher at St Barnabas C of E School in Warrington, later lied that her loved one had passed away from the fictional cancer diagnosis and went into astonishing detail of how she held their hand as they died.
