Nine-year-old girl hugs her grandparents after 81 days apart

This is the heartwarming moment a nine-year-old girl finally hugged her loving grandparents for the first time - after 81 DAYS apart.

Cuddly Terri-Lea Cook said she had lost count of the days she'd been away from her grandparents after they were forced to separate following the start of a nationwide lockdown on 23 March.

But after 12 long weeks, the little girl finally got to see Tracy and Mike Brown, both 54, who have raised her along with her single mum Samantha, on Saturday (June 13) morning.

The speedy youngster is seen in the video sprinting out of the gate as soon as she hears them approaching the street before sharing a warm and tear-jerking embrace.
