Louisa Jackson, 59, arranged to take her six-year-old granddaughter Phoebe to school as a favour to her daughter Amy. The gran-of-four asked Phoebe to brush her teeth before the pair left the house for school.

But when the youngster came down the stairs, she was sporting a pair of giant Sharpie eyebrows 'like Groucho Marx'. Louisa spent 10 minutes trying to scrub them off, eventually removing the worst of the ink with baby oil and cotton wool.
