A schoolgirl was told the devastating news she had cancer after breaking her leg in the playground.
Ava Davidson, aged eight, was playing on a balance board with her friend at Barlows Primary School in Fazakerley when she fell off and broke her thigh bone. Ava's mum Catherine Ainsworth initially believed the accident had caused Ava to break her leg.
However, doctors at Alder Hey Children's Hospital raised concerns about the severity of the injury and referred her for further tests.
