Mum sends son, five, off to school nativity with a blow up sheep – but doesn’t realise it’s a SEX DOLL
Helen Cox spent £16.99 on the Amazon outfit for little Alfie's nativity play in Alloa, Scotland, but was baffled when he was sent home with the inflatable sheep
A MUM was left em-baa-rrassed when she accidentally sent her five-year-old son to the school nativity dressed as a shepherd - with a blow up sex doll sheep.
Woolly-brained Helen Cox, 46, forked out £16.99 for a shepherd's costume on Amazon and was thrilled to discover it came with a blow up flock of sheep.
But she was baffled when little Alfie was told to bring the sheep home from his school in Alloa - until she blew it up and discovered it had a huge hole in its bum and red lips and eyelashes.
Helen has now been forced to pull the wool over the youngster's eyes - telling him the hole is for the "sheep's toilet paper".
The psychology student said: "He's probably in his room right now stuffing Lego in the hole.
"I just can't believe it. I don't know whether to laugh or cry! How am I going to explain this to his teachers?
"I have no idea if they've seen it was a sex toy and that's why they sent it home - I'm mortified!"
The costume was listed on Amazon as "Labreeze kids boys brown shepherd costume inflatable sheep nativity fancy dress outfit".
When it arrived two weeks later, Helen packaged it up in a name-tagged bag for Alfie to take into school on November 26.
But when she picked him up yesterday, she noticed the sheep was in his bag so took it home to blow it up for Alfie to play with.
Helen said: "It took forever to blow up - I was stood there blowing and blowing until the air reached its legs.
"I hurriedly popped the stopper back in so it wouldn't deflate and suddenly spotted the huge hole in the bum. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
"I told him, 'you can't have this sheep Alfie' but he kept asking why so I had to make up a reason.

"I told him it didn't look like a proper sheep because it had a moustache, red lipstick and a bow on its head, but he still wanted to play with it. I couldn't think of any more reasons why not."
Crafty Helen has now devised a plan to get the sheep back without any awkward explanation - by telling Alfie the 'Elf of the Shelf' took it.
Amazon told Sun Online the product has now been removed.
A spokesperson said: "All sellers must follow our selling guidelines and those who don’t will be subject to action including potential removal of their account. The product in question is no longer available."
