Biography
Hayley was born at Castlepool General Hospital after her mother tried to keep the birth a secret from her father - which she succeeded in doing for one whole week. It was not until her mother's best friend Louisa Jones, who she was partly named after, convinced Lizzie to tell him that she actually did.

For the first year of her life, Hayley was pulled from pillar to post as her parents fought over her. She barely had a place she could call home and it turned her into a needy baby who always wanted attention, much to the chargrain of her overly-tired mother.

By her second year, her parents had begun to work out a system and Hayley began to settle into a routine which she became used to.

In 2014, which she was with her Aunt Chantelle and grandma Mary, tragedy struck. Mary received a phone call telling them that Ryan and Lizzie had both been shot and sent to hospital. Chantelle was told to babysit Hayley while Mary took off for the hospital. She was three years old when her mother died.

Moving in with her father and his fiance Katie Jones, Hayley began to play up for Katie as she struggled to come to terms with her mother being gone from her life.

She is starting primary school in September 2015 and she is beginning to accept that her mother is not coming back. She is also starting to accept Katie as her step-mother.
