A 22-YEAR-OLD stay-at-home step-mum has revealed the mega haul she gave her step-daughter for her 17th birthday.
Ellie Hillary, 22, from North Wales, met her hubby Mark Hillary, 45, after a night out when she was just 18 .
As their love progressed, the pair moved in together and the Welsh lass now helps to look after Mark’s two children Marcus and Izzy, as well as their baby son together, Marco.
Ellie, whose parents also don’t agree with their age-gap relationship , regularly shares clips showcasing family life – including details of their extravagant lifestyle, supported by Mark’s lucrative businesses in Ibiza .
But it’s not just the 22-year-old- who quit her dental nursing job and moved to Cheshire – who enjoys the benefits of Mark’s generous wallet.
His daughter – Ellie’s stepdaughter – was recently treated to a lavish gifts on her 17th birthday, which also included one particularly costly present.
In a clip posted to Ellie’s social media account , the newly weds showed off the monster haul, which included an array of new clothing, beauty products and one very expensive present – a brand new Mini Cooper car.
Including the cost of the car, the loved-up duo are estimated to have forked out an astronomical £25,843.64, Main Online reported .
In the video, the young step-mother explained that they were having to present her with the presents a week early as they were due to go on holiday.
”We’re going to surprise her now because it’s too hard to keep the secret for any longer,” she said excitedly.
Ellie explained that Izzy was on her way back from Leeds festival and she was probably ”going to be a bit rough and worse for wear”.
”We’re so excited to surprise her and it’s literally her dream car,” Ellie said, she as Mark perched inside the glam vehicle.
The video then panned to a shot of a cream Mini Cooper with a large pink bow wrapped around the bonnet.
Prices for a brand new three-door Mini Cooper start from a staggering £25,265.
The birthday girl was then seen turning the corner to where she met with her brand new vehicle.
”Oh my goodness, what the heck,” she said as she covered her mouth in shock, repeatedly thanking the pair for the gift.
But the car wasn’t her only present.
The lucky teenager was treated to a mountain of gifts, including personalised number plates for her car, various items of clothing , makeup, hair products and a basket full of her favourite drinks and snacks.
”Having a 22-year-old step mum means you get amazing presents for birthdays and Christmas ,” Ellie said in a video showing off the epic birthday bundle.
The 17-year-old was also treated to two sweatshirts, tops, a matching set for her to throw on for sixth form, and expensive designer makeup products, including from Huda Beauty and Kosas.
On top of this, Izzy was given a full hair care set, with shampoo, conditioner, heat protectant spray, and mask – all of which tallied up to £28.68.
The teen also received a Sol de Janeiro 68 deodorant, an eyelash extension kit, a fake tan applicator and luxury beauty sponge.
The influencer received backlash for her relationship last year when she showed off her haul of goodies from designer jewellery to wads of cash while on a holiday to Thailand that she paid for.
Ellie revealed she had paid for the couple to enjoy some time away in sunny Thailand but was spoilt rotten while away.
