Britain’s Got Talent Star performs for patients at The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre
Posted 20th December 2016
Britain’s Got Talent sensation Beau Dermott paid a special festive visit to The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust.
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 13 year-old was delighted to perform for the people who helped 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 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 is now planning a concert at The Philharmonic Hall in Liverpool on April 15. The Clatterbridge Cancer Charity is one of three charities that will benefit for the event.
