An adorable five-year-old girl with cerebral palsy beamed from ear to ear after she climbed into the car unaided for the first time thanks to her own little set of steps.

Little Lilac Jackson, from Gloucestershire, has spastic diplegia cerebral palsy and used to rely on walking aids to move about and had to be carried into her car seat by her mum Leila.

But Lilac amazed her family and friends when she walked into class on her first day at primary school without any help following a major operation last year.

She has now mastered another first when she hoisted herself into her car seat all by herself after her mum bought her a tiny set of stairs.

This footage was filmed from January 27.
