The page was set up by family friend Ria Norris, who wanted to get some money together to help Sophie's boyfriend Alex Carter.

The money can be used to buy the twins, named Oliver and Evie, essentials.

On the Go Fund Me page, Miss Norris says: "We are raising funds for twins Oliver and Evie who tragically lost their mommy less than 48 hours after they were born.

"We hope to raise money in Sophie's memory so that their dad Alex can use this towards items they may need or to put in a trust fund for the twins."
