In a heartwarming turn of events during a live interview on Sky News TV in the UK, 11-year-old British-Ghanaian author Sarah Kittoe received a special surprise from Britain’s Got Talent celebrity judge Alesha Dixon.
Sarah, who was a guest on the UK Tonight Show to discuss her fourth book, titled “Ama and The Lost Key,” was stunned by a heartfelt video message from Alesha.
Before the surprise message, Sarah had expressed her admiration for Alesha, highlighting her as one of her favorite authors. Sarah found inspiration in Alesha’s “Lightning Girl” book series, as it featured characters with similarities to her own features.
In the video message, Alesha congratulated Sarah on her latest book and praised her for her charitable endeavors. Sarah had made donations to two UK charities and had also contributed to the refurbishment of a school library in Ghana. Alesha expressed how touched she was by Sarah’s story, stating that it is individuals like Sarah who motivate her to continue her work.
Alesha shared her aspiration to inspire the next generation and was thrilled that her book had inspired Sarah to dream big and accomplish great things. She sent Sarah love and luck, expressing her desire to meet her in person one day. Sarah was visibly shocked and overwhelmed by the surprise video message from Alesha.
During the show, Sarah expressed her gratitude for the opportunity and shared her hope of inspiring others, just as Alesha had inspired her. She even signed copies of her books to be gifted to Alesha Dixon.
Sarah’s father, Albert Kittoe, who accompanied her on the show, was amazed by his daughter’s decision to donate all proceeds from her book to charity at such a young age. He attributed her philanthropic spirit to the family tradition of giving back to the community during Christmas.
