A mother-of-two who was 'addicted' to TikTok spent £300,000 on gifts for her favourite content creators after stealing almost half a million pounds from her company.
Katherine Greenall, 29, from St Helens, Liverpool, was left in tears as she was told she would spend 28 months in prison for her fraud.
The mother stole the eye-watering sum of money while working as an accounts manager for a car company and spent her ill-gotten gains on TikTok tokens.
The virtual currency was then spent on Greenall's favourite content creators for her 'amusement and entertainment'.
She claimed she had not been living a lavish lifestyle and only started stealing from her boss to fund household purchases but her spending spree quickly spiralled and she splashed out on hotels, holidays and Amazon purchases.
