Mum aims for singer to meet super-fan Isla

SHOCKED . . . Isla with the card

A LOVING mum is going to great lengths to secure her seven-year-old daughter an audience with the "love of her life" Justin Bieber.

Kayleigh Lea, from Royton, wrote her daughter Isla a Valentine's Day card pretending it was from the Canadian singer.

A video of Isla opening the card and then bursting into tears with excitement has attracted more than 10,000 views on social media.

Attention

Friends and family members are now doing all they can to make Isla's dream of seeing her hero come true and have contacted Bieber's family members and manager to gain his attention.

Isla said: "It would mean so much if I saw him live.

"I watched a Justin Bieber film and I wished I was on stage with him."

The St Aidan & Oswald RC Primary School pupil opened her card on Tuesday night believing it to be from her celebrity crush.

The card read: "To Isla, Happy Valentine's Day, love Justin Bieber."

Mum Kayleigh said: "She is Justin mad. It made it a super special day for her."

Isla enjoys listening to the superstar's music on YouTube and has several items of clothing featuring him.

Kayleigh said: "She loves Justin Bieber so much.

"She keeps asking to go to America to see him but because of the expense it is hard for everyday people so I wrote her the card to make her dreams come true.

"I put it on Facebook and one of my friends suggested trying to reach him.

"The number of views were going up and up and for it to top 10,000 is crazy. The power of social media is amazing."

The kind-hearted mum called on friends and anyone who reads her post to share the story with the star.

Residents have been busy sharing the emotional video on Bieber's Facebook and Twitter pages.

Kayleigh said: "The support so far has been brilliant ­- I never thought it would get this much attention, I'm overwhelmed.

"But I haven't heard anything yet, I'm still waiting."
