MUM SPENDS £17K ON HER REBORN BABIES
When mum-of-three Becky Tully was told she couldn’t have any more children due to health reasons, she refused to give up on having the little girl she had always wanted. Despite being a mum to sons Joshua, 20, Jack, 17, and Jacob, 11 – the 38 year old has adopted five lifelike ‘reborn’ dolls. With the help of her husband Andrew, 40, Becky has spent £17,000 on her vinyl dolls and their accessories. The full-time mum estimates that her babies have over 500 outfits. Becky, from London, believes her obsession started when she was forced to undergo a hysterectomy in 2009.
