She cares for them like they're her own children. No, really.

She told Barcroft Media: "“I loved walking with a stroller when my kids were little - they don’t fit in the strollers anymore, so I take out a doll. The dolls can be therapeutic - for some people it can be beneficial as long as you’re not losing touch with reality."

She went on to say: "My instinct is to cuddle them, mother them, take care of them - that just comes natural for me."
