A budding DJ who was diagnosed with a brain tumour weeks before Christmas was left “gobsmacked” when he received a surprise visit from Cher Lloyd. The X Factor finalist visited 16-year-old Sam Morris after she was contacted by his teachers at Bishop Perowne CE College. Sam had a life-saving operation at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham on December 1 to drain the fluid from around the tumour. He will start five weeks of radiotheraphy to treat the tumour, which doctors have said is treatable, but inoperable.
