The sister of disgraced footballer Adam Johnson was today seen heading to his home, as family celebrations continue following his release from prison.
Faye Johnson was pictured being driven to the 31-year-old footballer's home, located in an upmarket village in County Durham, this afternoon.
It comes just days after she was seen with 'welcome home balloons', amid reports she has been planning a party for her brother.

She is just one of a number of visitors to the former Sunderland winger's home, with his father, Dave Johnson, telling MailOnline on Friday: 'We are glad to have him home.'
Also visible outside the Johnson home today was a Majestic Wine van and a police van, with the footballer now subject to strict licence conditions, including keeping in touch with a supervisor and living permanently at his address.
The former Sunderland winger, now 31, served just half of the six-year sentence behind bars. He was jailed for grooming, kissing and touching a 15-year-old fan.
He remains on licence and, as part of his release conditions, he will no longer be permitted to spend time alone with his daughter.
Johnson's seven-bedroom home is said to have a bowling alley, swimming pool and football nets in the back garden.
He lives 100 yards away from his his father and mother, Sonia. His sister Faye also lives in the village.
The home Johnson shared with his ex girlfriend Stacey Flounders and their daughter Ayla at the time of his arrest has since been bought by cricketer Ben Stokes.

Johnson will also have more stringent conditions under the terms of the sex offenders' register, which he will sign for at least 15 years.

As well as not being permitted to see his daughter or other children unsupervised, he will have to hand over his bank card in order to prevent him accessing paid-for porn sites.
A neighbour said: 'He has been a stupid boy but he has served his time in prison and he's entitled to start again. What he did was very foolish of course but there are much worse crimes committed.'
Children's charity the NSPCC said on Friday that Johnson's case had helped bring about an implementation of laws against grooming.
