National TV spot for artist, 19
A Shropshire teenager will see her dream come true when her artwork is shown on The Sharon Osbourne Show.
Victoria Clinton-Davies, pictured, 19, from Telford, who suffers with Asperger's Syndrome, will see her portrait of Sharon and her dog Mini shown to the viewers on Thursday. Victoria, who got an A-grade art GCSE at just 12 years old, and her mum, Angela, who e-mailed the show, will be in the audience.
Programme bosses sent a film crew to their home to film the talented teenage artist at work and took the oil painting of the show host to London. Sharon has arranged for it to be displayed in the Scream Gallery of the Ronnie Wood Studio in Mayfair after the show.
Mrs Clinton-Davies hopes the show could be the step to success for her daughter.
She said: "My daughter is an absolutely incredible artist so I e-mailed the show when they were doing the 'dreams come true' part of the show.
"The film crews came to the house and filmed there all day - they were blown away by the quality of her work.
"Our house is full of Victoria's art work. She got her GCSE art with an A when she was 12 and she's got her A-levels."
Mrs Clinton-Davies added: "Hopefully this will be a big break for her because she has this form of autism - it may open the door for her."
Victoria has just finished her art diploma at Telford College of Arts and Technology.
