Westlife superfan Olivia saw the Irish pop group for the first time when she was aged three and Michelle said she has been to every one of their concerts ever since.

Olivia had been due to meet Westlife member Nicky Byrne in Dublin a few years ago but unfortunately she was too ill to travel and had to cancel.

But she was lucky enough to meet Shane Filan at Yorkshire Wildlife Park which she 'absolutely loved' and 'still talks about now'.

On June 21 Olivia will once again be seeing Westlife in Birmingham and Michelle would love for her daughter's wish of meeting them to come true.
