"It was a really amazing thing, because lots of people who have special needs or autism find it really hard to buy clothes that they can actually wear or are comfortable in,” said Kelly.

"This whole range has opened up the doors for a lot of children and adults who didn’t have that kind of opportunity before.”

Kelly, from Trimdon, was asked to take part in the event just two weeks prior and has said it was amazing to return to the catwalk after last walking down the runway as a pageant contestant when she was in her twenties.

Kelly said: "It was amazing to come down on the runway and showcase these clothes, and see everybody else doing it, and just to be able to spread awareness for such a good cause.
