A 'heroic' boss 'saved' Christmas for his employee's little girl when she was distraught worrying that Father Christmas couldn't visit as she has Covid - so he pretended to be Santa to assure her he would.

Sam Brown's five-year-old daughter Lily burst into tears when she tested positive for coronavirus on Tuesday (December 21), and told her dad it would mean Santa would not be able to come round as she had 'the bug'.

However, when his boss, CEO Dan Brookman, heard about his employee's predicament, he told Sam to stay off with his family and change his name from Dan to 'Santa' in his phone.
