He said: "Hi Faye, it's Tom Holland here. I just wanted to send you a little video, send you my love and let you know we are all thinking about you. I am in New York making a TV show, which is going really well. But I wanted to send you some love and some positive vibes.

"Also to let you know we are all thinking about you and are all sending you well wishes. So, lots of love from me my friends my team - everyone at Marvel and Sony."

Faye was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour just weeks ago and has been undergoing radiotherapy to try and slow down its growth.

Family and friends have raised £8,000 to help her dreams come true, and they don't come much better than this for the little Wishaw girl.
