Britain's Got Talent Star performs for
patients and staff at The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre
A special visit was made to The Clatterbridge Cancer
Centre NHS Foundation Trust, just before Christmas by Britain's Got Talent
sensation Beau Dermott. The youngster from Widnes, who earned Amanda Holden's
Golden Buzzer, on the TV talent show, sang for staff and patients at the Wirral
Hospital.
Beau's dad Ian was treated at The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre after being
diagnosed with cancer earlier this year and the 12 year old was delighted to
perform for the people who treated him. She said:- "It has been really
nice to show our appreciation to everyone, to thank them for helping my dad and
to sing for other patients. It was quite scary when dad was getting treated, but
everyone was really lovely and I always trusted them to help him."
Ian, who received radiotherapy and chemotherapy at The Clatterbridge Cancer
Centre, Wirral, during the summer, said:- "Everyone at Clatterbridge was
so supportive. There were times when I didn't want to face the treatment but the
nurses and radiotherapists supported me and kept me going. It is lovely to be
back here and we will do anything and everything we can to support the work that
happens here."
Beau sang a selection of songs including festive favourites Have Yourself a
Merry Little Christmas and Happy Christmas War is Over, before finishing her set
with Defying Gravity from the Musical Wicked, the song that wowed the audience
on BGT.
Beau is now planning a concert at The Philharmonic Hall in Liverpool on 15 April
2017. The Clatterbridge Cancer Charity is 1 of 3 charities that will benefit for
the event.
