Kate Winslet has given £17,000 to a mother struggling to raise her cerebral palsy-stricken daughter amid rocketing energy bills.
Carolynne Hunter, 49, said she "didn't believe" the Titanic actress had really made the immense donation.
Last year it was £6,500 - and this year was predicted to hit £17,000, Clackmannanshire Council told her. Within days of BBC Scotland reporting on the shocking notice, Winslet and her family had made the incredible donation. "When I heard about the money I just burst into tears - I thought it wasn't even real. I'm still thinking is this real?"
