Cameron set to be star of show for Children in Need

in Glasgow.’ John Craven said: ‘Loch Leven is a beautiful place to visit and to have done so for such a good cause was an added bonus. Cameron did a fantastic job on the ramble and I can’t wait for everyone at home to see his story.’

The BBC arranged two surprises for Cameron during the filming. His former primary school teacher, Gerry Boyle, appeared at the ramble, the first time Cameron has seen him since he retired from Appin Primary School.

The second was a special video message from David Suchet, the actor who plays the TV detective Poirot, who did a special Poirot impersonation for him.

The appearance is one of what Cameron hopes will be many on television, as he wants to be a professional actor or director some day. He has already started his TV career, and will be appearing on the CBBC show

next year, which he filmed in Glasgow over the summer.

‘My character is called Isaac, and appears in two episodes,’ he said. ‘I applied after seeing an advert on the Scottish Disability Sport Facebook page. Filming

and then filming was totally different, because with you had to be really exact and careful, but was really relaxed because it’s a documentary.’

Cameron is now in third year at high school, and drama was one of his first choices for subjects going into the new term.

A recent growth spurt has led to more-frequent fractures, but Cameron doesn’t let them get him down. He was delighted to be able to give the Brittle Bone Society some recognition nationally and hoped the appearance would help to raise money for the charity. The special Children in Need edition of

will be on BBC One at 7pm. A preview of Cameron’s appearance can be seen at: www. facebook.com/officialpudsey
