Chloe Milloy, from Bryngwran on Anglesey, has a condition known as deletion on long arm chromosome 14 that affects her growth, feeding, breathing and heart.

She teamed up with Twin Town actor Llyr Evans, who plays a hapless handyman called Harri in the S4C show, Help Llaw (Helping Hand).

The pair filmed scenes for the episode at Pendine Park's Bryn Seiont Newydd care home in Caernarfon.

They were joined by popular Welsh actor and singer Emyr Gibson, who's also the creative practitioner at the specialist dementia centre.

There were cameo roles for Bryn Seiont residents as part of a singalong and a fictional protest demanding a cup of tea after a dishwasher broke down.

The series features youngsters from across Wales who have additional learning needs and disabilities, and uses Makaton sign language.

The programme with Chloe will be the first in the new series which starts on Monday, April 20, on S4C's Cyw platform.

Chloe's mum Kayleigh said: "It was a brilliant day and Chloe loved it. She hasn’t stopped talking about it and is looking forward to seeing herself on television."

According to Llyr, who hails from Ruthin and lives in Felinheli, making Help Llaw was a "very humbling process".
