Chester toddler Erin Cross has taken to the internet to ‘pray’ for Take That star Gary Barlow to sing at a party that will celebrate the end of two years of cancer treatment.

The four-year-old from Upton , who has spent the last two years undergoing gruelling treatment for an aggressive form of leukaemia, has made a special online video to appeal to the Frodsham-born singer to make an appearance at her party in April.

And although Erin doesn’t necessarily want the singer to serenade her with ‘a million love songs’, she hopes Gary will pay her a visit and give her a day she will ‘never forget’.

Take That fan Erin decided to make the sweet video after Gary announced his plans to sing at three fans’ weddings this year , and since he is a supporter of Alder Hey Children’s Hospital where Erin has received much of her treatment , she thought she would try her luck for him to give her the ‘greatest day’ of her life.

Erin’s mum Sarah told The Chronicle: “I saw on Twitter that Gary had said he was going to play at some weddings this year so I sent a tweet asking him to play at Erin’s end of treatment party also, and it got retweeted quite a lot.

“When I told Erin about it we decided to do a little video of her singing and asking him to play at her party. It’s had more than 618 views already.

“I don’t think anything will come of it but you never know! Erin loves music because it really cheers her up and she especially likes all the Take That songs. It would be amazing if we could get him to play at Erin’s party but I know it’s a long shot,” added Sarah.

Erin’s treatment finishes on April 25, ending two years and four months of intensive chemotherapy. She will have her central line taken out around that time too, which for the past two and a bit years has been used to give her the treatment and other lifesaving drugs.

It will be the first time in more than two years that Sarah will be able to see her little girl without a tube attached to her chest.

Sarah explained: “It will be a time for celebration and we hope it will be the start of our lives returning back to some kind of normality.

“That’s why we want to mark the occasion with a lovely family party.”

Erin will still need regular visits to Alder Hey after April because she was at a high risk of relapse at the start of her treatment and will remain under review with the oncology team at the hospital until she is 18.
