· Rebecca Luff, 18, embarked on relationship after Michael Young messaged her

· Finally met when Michael came to Rebecca's home in Plymouth, in September

· Spent three weeks in each other's company and went on holiday to Amsterdam

A teenage girl has fallen in love with a young man 10,000 miles away in Australia - after accepting his random Facebook friend request.

Rebecca Luff, 18, embarked on the long distance relationship after stranger Michael Young, 25, contacted her on social media.

The pair grew close and would chat every day but just one thing stood in the way of their fledgling relationship; she lived in the UK but he was residing in Adelaide, Australia.

But despite the 20 hour plus flight time to see each other, the couple said they are determined to make things work.

After chatting online for more than a year, they finally met when Michael came to Rebecca's home in Plymouth, Devon, in September 2016.

They spent three weeks in each other's company and travelled for a mini-break to Amsterdam.

And Rebecca is now taking a three month sabbatical from her job with insurance company TH March to fly out to Australia to meet her Michael's friends and family.

But despite the 20 hour plus flight time to see each other, the couple said they are determined to make things work

She said: 'When we first met it was like I had known him my whole life, it wasn't awkward at all. We just clicked.

'When we first started talking, I never thought it would be this serious.

'Nobody took us seriously for a long time; I think everyone thought it was all a bit bizarre.'

Rebecca said it all started when she casually accepted the friend request two years ago.

The pair had been speaking online for months via Facebook and Skype before eventually making things official in December 2015.

The couple, who have not seen each other since October 3, have now been dating for a year and a half.

After almost five months apart, Rebecca says she can't wait to be reunited with Michael.

She said: 'I'm so excited to finally be able to go and visit the places he regularly tells me about, and of course finally get to meet his family and friends properly.

'It's strange because I already feel like I know them, we're Facebook friends and I regularly speak to them when we're on Skype to each other.

'His Nan is letting me borrow her car whilst I'm there so I can travel around whilst Michael is at work, which is lovely.

'The best part is, everyone is so supportive, and my Dad always tells me to do these crazy things whilst I'm young.'

Little Boko Haram Survivor Walks Again After Delicate Surgery In Dubai (GOOD NEWS)

Barely three months of delicate surgical operation in Dubai, a Boko Haram child victim, Ali Ahmadu, has returned to Nigeria. Ali, who had been on wheelchair in the last four years, can now walk, to the joy and relief of the huge crowd which welcomed him at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Monday, December 4. Full of hearty smiles, Ali moved about freely, amid hugs and handshakes with the crowd. He arrived the country with his aunt, Hannatu Madu, Soordinator of Global Initiative for Peace, Love and Care (GIPLC), Nuhu Kwajafa and representatives of Dickens Sanomi Foundation, which footed his bill.

#RamadanDailyDigest: Muslim Wives Are Supporters, Not Slaves

Muslims have completed fasting Day 4 today, as they look forward to Day 5 fasting out of the 29 or 30 days fasting; it is important to highlight the roles Muslim wives play in the family. Muslim wives are supporters, and not slaves, and should be treated with utmost dignity. In the religion of Islam, the roles and rights of Muslim wives are copiously written and spoken about. How husbands should relate with their wives are clearly stated. In the Glorious Qur'an, to show the love Allaah has for women, chapter 4 is also called 'Suuratu Nisaa' which translates to chapter of the women in English language. Interesting to know that there is no single chapter out of the total 114 chapters of the Glorious Qur'an named after men, further showing that Muslim wives, daughters, mothers, and all groups of females are held in high esteem by Allaah. It is a sad tale to see what happens in the present day world, whereby some women are maltreated and abused by the society and their part...
