Telford youngster Dulcie walks the red carpet at Britain's Got Talent thanks to Make a Wish
More pictures of a county youngster's red carpet walk ahead of a Britain's Got Talent show have been released.


Dulcie O’Kelly, from Lawley, in Telford, was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma in December 2021, and the seven-year-old has been battling the cancer ever since.
During her treatment in hospital Dulcie would often watch reruns of Britain’s Got Talent, and had always wanted to see it live.


Thanks to Make-A-Wish UK, Dulcie had her wish turned into a reality when she got the chance to walk the Britain’s Got Talent red carpet with paparazzi calling her name and taking pictures of her – before being a special VIP in the show’s audience.
Dulcie is currently on her second clinical trial, receiving treatment every two weeks in a hospital 176 miles away.
Her diagnosis meant that she has not been able to do things that normal children do, like sleepovers and school trips.
The Make a Wish experience gave Dulcie and the family an opportunity not to talk about cancer and enjoy the day together.
Before the show she was given a tour of Hamleys iconic toy store in London, and even got to ring the traditional Hamleys bell for the doors to open with Hamley Bear and his friends.
Before making her red carpet appearance, Dulcie had her hair done and put on a sparkly dress and shoes for the occasion.




Dulcie's mum, Debra, said: "I cried seeing her walk down the red carpet and being so confident and happy, talking to everyone without a care in the world, it was so lovely to see."
She also paid tribute to Make-A-Wish for giving Dulcie a memory to cherish forever.
She said: "They go through so much – they don’t get a say in their treatment, we have to tell them where to go, where to be. She’s forced to do things she didn’t ask for. But the wish is her wish, it’s something she can control and is something that they can enjoy. If it wasn’t for people donating to charities like Make-A-Wish, I don’t know if she would be able to have that experience. It’s a memory that we’ll treasure and will last forever.”
