Britain's Got Talent day for Telford seven-year-old with cancer

Dulcie got to meet the stars of Britain's Got Talent and walk down the red carpet

A seven-year-old girl with cancer has been enjoying a VIP day at Britain's Got Talent.

Dulcie from Telford has been receiving treatment since 2021 and the experience was arranged by Make-A-Wish UK.

Her mother, Debbie, said: "Just to see her smiling and being so carefree and happy was just everything a mother could want for her child."

As well as meeting the stars, she got to walk down the red carpet with the crowd chanting her name.

Since being diagnosed with stage 4 neuro blastoma which had spread all over her body, Dulcie has undergone surgery, chemotherapy and two clinical trials.

Her mother said the second trial was coming to an end and "so far seems to be working," but they would hear more at an upcoming assessment.

Debbie said their Britain's Got Talent experience "was amazing from start to finish".

It started with officially opening Hamleys, before getting dressed up for the red carpet at the London Palladium.

"She got to walk the red carpet with the entire crowd chanting her name," said Debbie, who admitted she cried at seeing her "being so confident and happy, talking to everyone without a care in the world".

Afterwards, she got to watch the show and meet Ant and Dec, Simon Cowell, and Amanda Holden.

Debbie said: "It was brilliant, she laughed and she danced and she clapped."

Dulcie got to meet the judges and was especially impressed by Simon Cowell

Dulcie has had to travel to a hospital 175 miles (280km) from home for her clinical trial and Debbie said it was important for her "just to be carefree and happy for a day".

Although she said her daughter was "tolerating this treatment really well," she has not been able to do everyday things like play with her friends.

"She's not in control of her own destiny at the moment," Debbie added.

She thanked Make-A-Wish UK and said their day at Britain's Got Talent was "a memory that we'll treasure and will last forever".
