A woman who was cruelly called ‘tumour girl’ by bullies has finally found love. For most of her life, Sophia Walker, 22, has bravely fought off heartless comments about her appearance - which is caused by neurofibromatosis, a condition that makes tumours grow on the body. The agriculture student, who has a large facial tumour on her cheek, has even had groups of men cruelly hold bets to take selfies with her on nights out. But now Sophia, of Little Dunham, Norfolk, finally feels beautiful after finding love with an old friend, pig farmer, Christian Dibden, 22.
