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.

But now Sophia, of Little Dunham, Norfolk, finally feels beautiful after finding love with an old friend, pig farmer, Christian Dibden, 22.
