A LITTLE girl from Malvern has become a cover star on a shoppers' magazine.

Molly Heath, aged four, features on the front of the new issue of Your Mall.

Some 1.5 million copies of the magazine are distributed to 23 shopping centres across the UK owned by property company The Mall.

Molly got the job because her aunt, Demelsa Bellamy, is marketing manager at The Mall Eastgate in Gloucester.

Sarah Heath, Molly's mum, said: "They like to use family members in their publicity, so Demelsa took Molly up to London for a photo shoot. Molly loves having her picture taken."

Demelsa said: "When she found out that she'd be travelling to London with me and getting to dress up and pose in front of the camera, she was over the moon.

"We had a photo taken of us together, which is on the back cover of the magazine, and a picture of Molly was also chosen for the front cover."

Molly lives in Malvern Link with her parents, who both work at QinetiQ.

"She loves having her photo taken and loves being fussed over with all the hair and make-up, like all little girls," said Sarah.

The family has been given free copies of the magazine and prints from the photo-shoot. Molly also got to keep the outfit she wore.

On Monday, Molly visited Gloucester to help give out copies of Your Mall to shoppers.
