An Essex toddler has been entered into a beauty pageant where she dances to Beyonce's tracks and blows kisses to the crowd.
Bobbi Boyden, 19 months old from Colchester, has only been able to walk for five months but is already wears make up, nail vanish, lip stick and a blond wig as she struts her stuff on stage.
Her mother, Stephanie, describes her as a "diva" who like o dance and often throws tantrums.
Bobbi, 32, entered her first pageant in June, alongside sisters Eleanor, 10, and Demi, eight, and she has already won a string of prizes.
Her mother has already spent £5,000 in three months on fancy dresses and entry fees into various competitions with one dress she only wore it twice before she grew out of it costing $200.
She said: "You can't put a price on the look on her face when she's on stage in her costumes.
"I know some people think it's inappropriate but all of the judges are checked out and given police checks and I wouldn't put her in any danger.
"The crowd are parents and family members - you can't just wander in off the street. There are people who say that pageants sexualise children but I couldn't disagree more.
"It's exactly the same as a dance competition except the kids win crowns instead of medals at the end."
