“She naturally has an open heart and wants to help people who may need it. She helps out other mums.

“I’ve never heard her complain. She’s made my life so much brighter just by being in it.”

Debbie (40) admitted she was a bit embarrassed by the nomination. She said: “I was surprised. I try to help when I can.”
