A teenager who left school without any GCSEs after being bullied has told how she has turned her life around by landing a job - in a fish and chip shop.
Franky Taylor, 18, often works 60 hours a week at the Churchill's Fish and Chips shop on Collier Row Road in Romford, Essex.
After experiencing bullying throughout her teen years, Franky dropped out of school in Year 10 with no GCSEs.
That's when she found work in a chip shop and began working full-time hours while studying part-time.
From the minimum wage earnings she made at these shifts - an average of £400 per week - Franky was able to move out at 16 and has been supporting herself since.

00:22spit roast fish, sausages and savolos must always be cooked.
00:26We have a promotion on for onion rings, so we also put some of them up.
