A camera shy mum-of-three has swapped her council job to work as Frozen's Princess Elsa after her children noticed her resemblance to the Disney Princess.

Terri Cheesebrough, 28, from East Hull works as a Princess Elsa lookalike from the popular Disney film Frozen, and makes her living acting and singing at children's parties and events.

Terri was first aware of her resemblance to the blonde haired, blue-eyed Disney Princess Elsa, when her five-year-old daughter Phoebe begged Terri to dress up as Elsa for a school summer event.

After being stared at in awe by Phoebe's classmates for her uncanny look to the fictional Princess, parents began asking Terri if she would attend birthday parties and events as Elsa.

Terri, who has suffered with depression in the past, gave up her job in social services for the council as she suffered with anxiety and was unable to give her all to the role.

Instead, the busy mum was looking for a more stress free way to earn a living while still being able to look after Phoebe, and her two sons Arthur, three, and seven-month-old Henry.

Terri said: "It all happened by accident! But working as a Disney Princess is so rewarding.

"I am extremely camera-shy and I have never been confident having my picture taken but I've overcome that so do this job, and it's so worth it to see the look on the children's faces.

"I couldn't believe it when all the parents and friends said I looked like Princess Elsa- my daughter Phoebe absolutely loves the film Frozen.

"I have always been career driven but took a bit of a knock after suffering with depression and finishing my council job. But I was keen to get back into work and the Princess Elsa job seem to come out of no-where, but just at the right time.

"The response has been fantastic and the kids absolutely love it.

"In a space of a week, everything took off and I have been so busy ever since- it's been fantastic. I'm working weekends and some evenings doing appearances- the support has been fantastic."

Terri charges £25 for appearances which usually consist of her singing, bringing presents and having photographs taken.

Terri said: "As a mum it is important to keep the price affordable- I'm not making much profit, but it's a great job for fitting in around my children."
