Shoppers across the country will be seeing the face of a Mulbarton schoolboy after he was chosen to be in the Christmas campaign for a major retail brand. 

Hayes Barber joined a modelling agency in June as a way to boost his confidence and just a month later he landed his first job. 

FatFace picked the nine-year-old for its festive adverts and Hayes travelled to Brighton in August for a weekend-long shoot.

"The FatFace team were just amazing,” Jasmin Barber, Hayes' mum, said. “Everyone was so lovely and helpful and really made the whole experience an amazing time. 

"It has really helped with my son's confidence".

In the campaign, Hayes can be seen wearing a festive red jumper and posing in front of a Christmas tree. 

The photoshoot went so well that Hayes was invited back to take part in a second one.

Modelling is a family affair for the Barbers with Jasmin’s younger son also a model at the age of two. 

He has already worked with Marks & Spencer and Stylecraft.
