A mother is trying to find the father of her teenage daughter 15 years after their one night stand.

The only thing Terri Reid knows about the father of her daughter Chanell is that he is from Wales.

Around nine months after meeting him in Blackpool in January 2003, Terri gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.

Terri, who still lives in Blackpool, said she met Chanell’s father at a nightclub in the town when she was 17 and said he was not far off the “tall dark and handsome” description.

One thing led to another and weeks later she found herself pregnant, with the only possibility that it was the man from Wales who was the father.

Terri, 32, said: “Chanell is old enough now to understand and she wants to find her dad.

“I’m doing this for her.”

She added: “I think he was in the town on holiday with his friend and their families so he couldn’t have been much older than I was at the time, maybe a year or two.

“I was out with my friend, her brother and we ended up in a nightclub in the middle of Blackpool.

“It’s not there any more and I can’t remember its name.”

She admits memories of the night are foggy, adding: “I don’t even know his name now, it’s been so long.

“All I know is that he was Welsh for certain and he might have been called Liam.

“He had the accent but as for where in Wales I couldn’t place it. It was just a Welsh accent to me.

“We got talking in the club, which I think was called Sanuk, and then went back to my friend’s flat which was above a Chinese takeaway.

“The next day we went our separate ways and he went back to his hotel in the town.”

She said her 14-year-old daughter is growing into a fantastic young woman and she wants to help her know who her dad is.

Terri said: “It’s unfortunate it was a one night stand. I admit that was maybe wrong but I have a beautiful daughter from it.”

Terri said: “She’s wanted for nothing growing up. She’s happy and my big family have helped and been great.”

However, two years ago conversation turned to who Chanell’s real dad was.

Terri, who works as a mental health nurse, said: “I explained to her the situation and she understood and now I think she’s old enough to grasp it fully.

“I want to do it for her, to help her find him.

“We don’t want anything from him, just that Chanell would like to know who her dad is.”

“She wants to do this appeal with me so here we are. We are trying to see if he’s still out there.

“It would be nice to know he’s out there somewhere and maybe wants to know we have a daughter together.”
