They surprised Quinn, six, Morgan, eight, and Mackenzie, 14, on Christmas Day in Leeds.

Barbara said: “We normally spend Christmas day with them and we wondered what we were going to do with all that’s been going on.

“We wanted to be careful because if we got poorly the boys would feel like they were responsible for it - which isn’t what we wanted.

“But the costumes worked really well. Totally enclosed. It was the best idea I’ve ever had I think."
