· 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.'

7 Greatest Sportsmen Of All Time

There are often arguments and counterarguments on who the 7 greatest sportsmen of all time are. Some sports historians, analysts, and supporters pick their own choices not necessarily on facts but emotions. In picking the 7 greatest sportsmen of all time, I briefly checked their achievements not just in their specific fields but also their impact outside the world of sports. 1. Boxing legend, Muhammad Ali has been crowned the best sports athlete of all time in a star-studded list. The 'Greatest' is widely considered the best boxer in history and arguably the most iconic sports star of the 20th century. Ali was not just a beauty to watch in the boxing ring, the greatest pugilist positively influenced decisions in many countries globally. 2. Pele is widely picked as the winner, and number one football player in history in all criteria. His three-time World Cup-winning feat, from four World Cup appearances, is unlikely to be matched. Pele scored a Guinness World Record of...

Has Gambling Improved The Economic Fortune Of Nigerians?

Gambling involves staking a certain amount of money or possession in the hope of winning something bigger or in multiples. Gambling entails having an optimistic belief that giving out something will bring back a higher return. Gambling means a positive or negative expectation from an input done by the gambler.

Behind The Scene Of APC's Primaries, Other Political Parties

The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was elected in June last year, following the primaries of the ruling party. Before Tinubu's emergence, the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party had set up a committee led by Chief John Odigie-Oyegun to screen the presidential aspirants. More so, all the presidential aspirants had bought, filled and returned the nomination form. The nomination form, also known as the presidential form was on the high side, as the ruling party charged millions of naira. A good number of Nigerians criticised the APC for the high cost of its expression of interest and nomination forms for the presidential nomination, as well as for governorship, house of representatives and for state house of assembly. Moneybags slugged it out become APC candidate Some concerned Nigerians, who have keen interest in the political affairs of the country stated that only APC members with deep pockets would buy the party's ...
