PrettyLittleThing billionaire's incredible Christmas Day present to Liverpool stranger

A billionaire made an incredible gesture to a complete stranger from Liverpool on Christmas Day.

PrettyLittleThing boss Umar Kamani spread the festive cheer when he proposed to make customers 'wishes come true'.

Taking to Twitter on December 25, Umar said: "Who’s ready for #PrettyLittleWishes? I’m so excited to help as many people as possible.

"Reading through your tweets will be granting some wishes in the next few minutes."

Keeley Ray, from Liverpool, told Umar how she was trying to raise money for her Auntie Nikki's stage 4 cancer.

She tweeted: "Currently raising money for my aunties private healthcare cancer treatment, any support is appreciated!!"

However, Keeley would never have expected what happened next.

Umar replied to her tweet, saying: "Hi Keeley, Merry Christmas! I’ll donate £1000 towards your aunties cancer treatment I hope this helps! Send her my love and have a beautiful day #PrettyLittleWishes."

It's not the first time Umar has excited Twitter with his #PrettyLittleWishes hashtag, reports the M.E.N.

Earlier this month he amazed everyone by promising to pay off somebody's entire overdraft, and touched hearts by organising a weekend-long trip to Disneyland Paris for a four-year-old boy battling leukaemia.
