TOWIE star Lydia Rose Bright and her mother Debbie Douglas have been announced as the government's newest fostering ambassadors, following in the footsteps of chef Lorraine Pascale.

Douglas, who first started fostering in 1993 and has now looked after over 250 children, commented 'I'm looking forward to working with the Department for Education to encourage more people to think about fostering children. I have such an incredible family, with so many children and young people. It hasn't always been easy, but I wouldn’t change it for the world'.
