Boy band stars JLS pop in to meet Ilkeston fan  Olivia and make her wish come true This is Derbyshire --

A YOUNG girl with cystic fibrosis had her wish come true when she met her favourite band, JLS.

Olivia Henman, 11, was thrilled to come face-to-face with the singers, having been a fan of the group since seeing them on ITV1 show X Factor.

The Ilkeston youngster's dream became a reality thanks to the Round Table Children's Wish, a national charity which grants wishes to children aged between four and 17, who have life-threatening illnesses.

Olivia was referred to the charity by Barnardo's Sherwood Project in Nottingham, which supports her with her illness, for which she has to take several medications and has frequent hospital stays.

Olivia spent time with the group who gave her an autographed hooded top and even performed two songs.

Olivia's mum, Denise Henman, and her partner, Steve Asquith, accompanied Olivia on her special day.

Denise said: "She can't quite believe she got to meet them. We are so grateful to Round Table Children's Wish."

To help the organisation grant more wishes, call 01202 514515 or e-mail info@ rtcw.org. Reported by This is 3 hours ago.
