She made no mention of her earlier health problems to get sympathy.

Why does being ill automatically make people "brave"?

Interesting:

Well clearly her health problems were mentioned previously; if you look at the links to the Daily Mail. She seems like a nice little girl though, it's not her fault her mum brought that up.

They could be school productions or dance groups shows. Nothing to what BGT would be...

Because it may be harder for them- they have more to overcome.

It's a simple concept though I admit, it helps if you have at least a grain of empathy, which sadly, many people here appear to be lacking.
