Chilling TikTok videos of a killer mum dancing with her three-year-old daughter just weeks before she was beaten to death have been uncovered.
Nicola Priest, 23, was jailed for 15 years for manslaughter last week after Kaylee-Jayde was found dead with chest and abdominal injuries at her flat in Birmingham.
Her boyfriend Callum Redfern, 22, was also jailed for 14 years for manslaughter and was handed a concurrent sentence of three years for a child cruelty charge.
Birmingham Crown Court heard Kaylee was the victim of a "sustained and ferocious assault" after she interrupted Priest and boyfriend Callum Redfern having sex.
In the months before the little girl's death, she was used as a prop in her mum's Tiktok videos.
In one disturbing video, Priest holds up both of her daughter's arms and moves her around the room like a puppet, forcing her to dance to music.
In another video posted a month before her death, Priest grabs her head and bops it left and right before she tries to copy her mum.
It then shows Kaylee-Jayde nodding her head while her mum dances in the background in a pair of shorts.
In a third video posted in January 2020, pregnant Priest can be seen lifted Kaylee-Jade and smiling.
Priest continued to upload twisted videos after her daughter was dead.
In one video she posted 39 days after killing her daughter she mouthed to lyrics apologising for having "messed up bad".
In another, a photo of the tragic little girl also featured alongside her date of death, August 9, 2020, as well as a crying emoji and several angels in the caption.
Jurors were told that Kaylee had been dead several hours inside Priest's Kingshurst flat in Solihull, West Midlands, when she finally made the 999 call.
The toddler had received injuries consistent with kicks or stamps in the weeks before she died.
Kaylee-Jade's final moments were revealed in chilling CCTV footage.
CCTV showed the three-year-old, dressed in a pink top and shorts arriving back to her flat with mum Nicola Priest, 23, last August.
In the harrowing footage, Priest does not appear to say anything to Kaylee as she has a cigarette in her mouth in the lift.
Priest can also be seen checking her appearance in the mirror as little Kaylee looks up at her.
Kaylee was found dead in her bedroom the next morning.
Sentencing the pair last week, Mr Justice Foxton QC said: "On the evening of August 8 you Redfern went to Priest's flat. The two of you went to have sex. Kaylee wanted to stay up and play. There is no direct evidence of what happened next.
"Kaylee was sick more than once during the night as a result of the severe beating. You lost your tempers and it is clear you were joint participants in that assault. You both knew you had seriously injured Kaylee.
"You, Priest did nothing to seek medical help. A prompt call could have saved Kaylee's life. You both lied repeatedly during interviews.
"From the severity of the injuries caused by the assault it is clear there was an intention to cause serious harm. The injuries were caused by a ferocious assault.
"You and Redfern were equally responsible. You had ample opportunity to raise any concerns. Kaylee was very vulnerable and you were in a position of trust. You did nothing to summon help."
