There’s no shame in still hanging onto your favourite cuddly toy, even when you reach adulthood.

In fact, a survey released last week said a third of people admitted that they still sleep with their teddy.

One woman says that she loves her teddy Frizzles so much, she couldn’t risk taking him travelling with her in case something happened.

Robyn Duncan, 20, has had Frizzles by her side for most of her life.

But she set off for Australia earlier this month and she has plans to stay for at least a year or potentially two.

She explains: ‘I want to travel and explore what Australia has to offer. I was too scared to take Frizzles with me in case I lost him.’

Her big trip meant she had to leave Frizzles behind with her family in Aberdeen, Scotland.

Soon after she arrived in Australia, her parents started to send her some pictures of Frizzles to comfort her – and it seems they ended up taking him on one of those nights that escalate quickly.

The first pictures from her mum show the bear out for a drive with her parents, just sitting in the car.

The next show him watching football in the pub and choosing what he wants from the menu.

But soon Frizzles was enjoying a beer and sipping on ‘Auntie Sooz’s’ gin and tonic.

From there, the night got pretty wild for Frizzles.

Robyn also got an update from her dad. He said: ‘Frizzles is a party animal. Couldn’t get him to bed. He wanted to party all night.’

Robyn told Metro.co.uk that the pictures were a bit of fun but they helped her feel better about being away from home. She says: ‘I honestly cried with laughter.

‘Frizzles is such a home comfort and to not have him here is so weird but knowing my family are having fun with him is so comforting and I couldn’t ask for a better family to look after him.’

Her post on Twitter went viral with over 48,000 likes and 3,700 retweets.

And Robyn said that despite the heavy night, her parents and Frizzle were straight back out the next day too.

This time, he had a more sedate day at the cinema, including eating the popcorn and eating the staff.

Robyn might be on an adventure but Frizzles is having the time of his life.
