Star in the making

For nine-year-old Mirfield girl Alisha Joof will be appearing in fast-food chain KFC’s latest advert.

This isn’t the first time the budding actress has appeared on the small screen – she’s already appeared in an Iceland ad.

The rest of the Joof household is no stranger to the industry either, with Alisha’s brothers, Lucas, four, and Alex, eight, also involved in modelling and television work.

Alisha, of Spring Place Gardens, is now something of a mini-celebrity at Crowlees Junior and Infant School.

Her mum Jenny Joof said: “It was on in the break during the X Factor so when she got to school on Monday all her friends had seen it. But she’s not fazed by all the attention, she loves it!”
