Derry Girls actress, four, has been diagnosed with leukaemia

A four-year-old star of the hit comedy Derry Girls has started a course of chemotherapy after being diagnosed with leukaemia. Zoe Brown, who along with her twin sister Sophie played baby Anna Quinn in the teen sitcom, is 'still smiling' despite everything she's going through, says her mum Leah Brown.

Zoe is now being treated for the form of cancer, with mum Leah Brown saying Zoe is "still smiling" despite all she's going through. The child actress was diagnosed seven weeks ago after her mum noticed she was looking pale and took her to the doctors, reports Belfast Live.

Zoe has since received multiple bone marrow biopsies and is having chemotherapy alongside steroid treatments. "I think I was just in a daze, I still sort of am to be honest," said Leah.
