Two sisters from Somerset who were caught selling their mum's underwear have won a stay at Center Parcs.

Immi Fear, 10, and Esme Fear, 7, were helping their mum move out of their Taunton home ahead of a move to Yorkshire.

But in a bid to make some more pocket money, the scheming sisters devised a plan to flog their mum's underwear.

Immi and Esme set up a makeshift stall outside their house and sold bras and pants for just 50p.

Mum, Laura Fear, described the moment she spotted her daughters selling her underwear: "I discovered the girls getting up to mischief, when I heard laughter through the open window.

"I was taping up boxes, ready to move house and the girls had taken it upon themselves to go into my bedroom and swipe some underwear.

"My initial thoughts were laughter and to grab my mobile phone and take a photo.

"I looked out of the window and saw both girls wearing pants on their heads.

"When I asked Immi and Esme why they decided to sell my bras they simply said, 'because you said you had too many clothes to pack.'"

Laura submitted the photo to Jammie Dodgers' recent 'Sweet at Heart' Facebook contest, which asked parents across the country to share snaps of their kids getting up to "hilarious, yet forgivable mischief".

Jammie Dodgers awarded the photo first place and Laura's family won a three-night stay at Center Parcs.

Mrs Fear said that the holiday that "could not come at a better time" after a stressful period of moving.

She said: "We are all exhausted from moving across the country, from Somerset to Yorkshire.

"A break away in October half term will be lovely for all four of us."

Speaking on behalf of her daughters, she added: "Immi and Esme are delighted to be selected as the winner.

"They think they are famous now and are so excited to have won a holiday for us all."

The Jammie Dodgers competition received more than 70 entries, with parents sharing images of their kids tipping out the freezer of veg, drawing on the floor, and covering themselves in talcum powder.

Kate Needham, Burton's Biscuit's marketing director, said: "Children can be naive and sometimes outright cheeky when they create mischief.

"We felt Laura's photo of her daughters selling off her underwear was a deserving competition winner.

"It really captured those moments all parents can resonate with, when they forgive their kids' naughtiness because underneath, they know they have good intentions - or as we say – they're 'Sweet at Heart'"
