A Queen Elsa lookalike is using sign language to bring the joy of Disney's Frozen joy to even more children - completely free of charge.

Caring mum-of-two Claire Form says “it’s nice to be nice” after starting her ‘Elsa-licious’ business over Christmas.

The 31-year old impersonates the ice queen from the Disney blockbuster, and has already appeared at hundreds of children’s birthday parties.

And she's now branched out with her new signing service to include hospitals, special needs groups and children’s hospice visits, all for no charge.

Claire, from Bishopsgarth, in Stockton, said: “I used to be a holiday rep years ago in Magaluf, so entertaining is something that I’ve done for years - and I’ve been doing children’s parties for around 18 months.

“I started doing Elsa at Christmas - with my boyfriend appearing as Santa!”

It was boyfriend Paul Dolan, 35, a plasterer, who had the idea for Claire - who works as a shipping advisor - to make use of her sign language skills in her Elsa impersonations.

“I put a video on Facebook and it quickly gained more than 70,000 views,” said Claire.

She has so far visited the Stockton's University Hospital of North Tees, Middlesbrough baby hospice Zoe’s Place and is set to visit Hartlepool Special Needs Support Group, reports the Gazette.

Claire, who is mum to Maisie, six, and Charlie, five, said: “I started it years ago as a full time mum when I had two small children.

“I was looking after them all of the time and I thought it was a good skill to have.

“And now it’s come in handy - why should any child have to miss out?”
