A mother-of-six with a Paddington Bear collection worth £10,000 has gone into overdrive since the release of the recent Hollywood film about the lovable animal. Emma Bending's house is filled to the brim with  teddies, books and prints that are all fuelled by her love for the small Peruvian bear character. The 44-year-old from Bugbrooke, Northampton, was so desperate to see the new movie that she booked herself into the first showing at her local cinema when she couldn't get tickets for the premiere on eBay. Emma Bending, 44, fell in love with Paddington Bear as a child and now has a collection worth £10,000
