But lucky Gili Amzallag, 8 from Epping beat thousands of other children to meet her heroes, girlband The Saturdays, at the shooting of their latest video.

Gili said: "It was the most special day and I can’t believe how lucky I was. The Saturdays were really nice and I’d like to thank everyone who made it happen."

The competition was run by Windows, who chose the children to take some exclusive backstage snaps of the band.
