A photo taken by a 12-year-old girl on holiday with her parents has been branded the "best picture of the Loch Ness Monster for years".

The legendary creature is said to have surfaced for about a minute before reappearing about ten feet further away some seven minutes later - but for less than 60 seconds. Charlotte was on holiday with parents Kat, 41, a business intelligence data analyst, and father Dave, 52, a factory worker. It was at around 7pm last Friday when Charlotte believed she saw the creature and captured it on her phone. "There was something in the water about 50 feet from the shore. I took a photo. It had a neck and head was in the shape of a hook," said Charlotte. "I just took what I saw. It was black - I just don't know how far it was out of the water. I'm not good at judging distances.

Jacqueline Jossa’s fight against the odds – jailbird dad, tragic sibling deaths and teen breadwinner
Jacqueline Jossa visibly shook throughout her I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here exit interview on Sunday, making it clear just how much a win meant to her. Sobbing as she was crowned Queen of the Jungle, the 27-year-old mother-of-two said the show had changed her life and given her courage and confidence after years of being perceived as a "doormat".
