A SEVEN-YEAR-OLD cared for by a south Essex children’s hospice has appeared in the Britain’s Got Talent semi-final.
Dottie Rees got through to semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent after performing a beautiful rendition of “A Million Dreams” with Ravi’s Dream Team choir.
The seven-year-old, from Grays, was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour in September 2020.
She continues to live with the effects of her brain tumour, having regular MRI scans and tests for her hearing and vision. The family are supported by Little Havens in Thundersley.
Ravi’s Dream Team choir was put together by Ravi’s family as he dreamed of entering Britain’s Got Talent.
The 50-strong choir consists of Ravi’s friends and family, his teacher, healthcare professionals, and other families like Dottie’s that have all been affected by the shocking diagnosis of a brain tumour.
Sadly, the group were sent home after narrowly coming third in the semi-finals.
However, many Britain’s Got Talent viewers took to social media threatening to “riot” as they believed the group deserved to go through to the final.
