Lily’s inspiring story touched the heart of television’s Mr Nasty
“I loved the big picture of him in his office. It’s made out of loads of tiny dots,it’s incredible.
“Simon even has a shower in his office - no other person in the world has that.”
The previous day was spent at The Greatest Dancer with Alesha and Malcolm, where again she met everyone - including her idol, American singer-songwriter Todrick Hall, Jordan Banjo, Cheryl, Oti Mabusi and Matthew Morrison.
Lily said: “I watch the show as dance is what I love so to be there and watch it in real life was amazing. It’s cool on TV but to be there is so different.
“Everyone was so lovely. Alesha spent so much time with us and Malcolm was amazing.
“It was exciting but a bit overwhelming not knowing anyone. But from the moment I met Malcolm, he was so lovely and made me feel at home. He felt like an uncle to me. I just felt like I was with family.
“Alesha was the same, like my new aunty. She was so nice and it felt like I knew her already. She gave me two of her books and signed them.”
Alesha said: “It was so lovely spending time with the gorgeous Lily. She’s a remarkable young lady and everyone that meets her falls in love with her.”
