Hide AdShe wanted to pay tribute to the NHS workers who are dealing with the current Covid-19 situation.
“The NHS is doing a hell of a lot at the moment and I wanted to show my support,” she continued.

Hide AdShe said: “Hopefully he puts something in place for us, the Universal Credit helpline is rammed and you can’t get through.
“But money does not make the world go round and it’s been lovely to see people being nice, doing things like dropping off food parcels.
“Hopefully when all this blows over people will realise that money isn’t everything.”
Hayleigh runs a private studio named HLM and she has services such as lashes, dermaplaning, make-up, and hair.
She will be part of the team at Doncaster Fashion Week which is scheduled to go ahead later this year.
