Peanut allergy sufferers have been given new hope following the results of a landmark study.
Children diagnosed with a severe allergy took part in a trial where they were given increasing amounts of peanut protein over a year.
Emily Pratt who was "extremely allergic" to peanuts had a successful outcome from the trial.
Her mother, Sophie, told ITV News the trial had "transformed" their lives: "One thing I had never realised was traces of nuts and peanut can be found all over the place, so we found out that Emily was extremely allergic - so less than a third of peanut could make her go into Anaphylaxis".
