MUM SPENDS THOUSANDS ON FAKE BABIES INSTEAD OF HER REAL KIDS
A mum-of-two has splashed out £20k on her seven reborn dolls, but refuses to treat her real kids. Kerrie Williams, 33, from Darlington, County Durham, has spent thousands on clothes, toys and accessories, including £1,000 on a single pram, for her brood of reborns - lifelike vinyl dolls designed to resemble human babies. Priced between £150 and £400 each, the expensive hobby has left Kerrie with little spare cash to spend on her two daughters Karina, 13, and Jade, 12. Admitting she scrimps on what she buys her two girls so she can afford to spoil her fake babies, Kerrie says her daughters are jealous of the amount of attention she gives the dolls..
