Her mother Melanie recently celebrated turning 40 with a big party, so Leah created a video to wish her happy birthday and apologise for not being there.

At first, it just looked like a record of her travels around the world, from snowboarding in Canada…

Posting the final video on Facebook, Leah wrote:

I can’t believe that after months and months of planning, Operation Surprise Mammy at her 40th was an absolute success. I’m honestly not sure how I kept it a secret for so long!

Watch it all here – dare you not to well up.
