Ravi hailed an inspiration after entering the charts and meeting his heroes

A seven-year-old boy who is to have three more operations, including one to move nerves from his leg to his face, after having a brain tumour removed says he is delighted to have met some huge stars as part of his charity campaign.

Dermot O’Leary and Carol Vorderman hailed Ravi as an inspiration after his appearance on ITV’s This Morning. Ravi Adelekan’s campaign to raise £250,000 for brain tumour research has started with a bang - with over £45,000 raised in four days. His celebrity-studded cover of ‘A Million Dreams’ now has more than 100,000 streams on Spotify and entered the UK iTunes chart at No.15.

Ravi said: “I think it’s going really well and I’m so proud of the difference we could make.”
