'The best thing I've done'
EVANGELINA Cooper brought the house down when she sang a duet with Jonathan Wilkes at the Stoke's Top Talent final.
The 13-year-old, from Packmoor, above with Jonny, fulfilled a lifetime's ambition when she sang Robbie Williams' Angels to a packed crowd at The Regent.

Evangelina, who suffers from Cerebral Palsy, grabbed perhaps the biggest cheer of the night from a crowd which clapped along and enjoyed every second of her performance.
She said: "It was fabulous, so amazing. It felt incredible, just to go out there and show I have got something good.
"That was the best thing I have ever done."
Evangelina auditioned for Stoke's Top Talent, but wasn't put through to the final stages. Jonny then jumped on stage to make her an offer to perform with him in the final, and was true to his word.

“To Gillian of Hartshill
There is one on You tube but is quite hard to find. It would be nice to see it from another view and I have asked The Sentinel for a copy of whatever they filmed of Evie but they haven't got back to me yet. Please feel free to put it on”
