Secret Lives of Five Year Olds: Batley schoolgirl shines in Channel 4 show

St Mary’s Catholic School pupil Kaci-Faith Scrutton, now aged six, was picked for the documentary after her mum Stacey Scrutton sent a video to casting directors last year.

She was one of nine girls who featured in the first episode last night. The series follows nine boys and girls while looking at the differences in their behaviour.

Mrs Scrutton said: “When I got the call to say Kaci had been picked I was in Tesco shopping and I just screamed at the top of my voice and cried with joy.

“We are all so proud of her achievement, her little Yorkshire accent is fabulous on the show.”
