Disabled girl, 6, thanks Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot who sponsored her and inspired her to battle on

A DISABLED girl of six has thanked the Wonder Woman star who sponsored her and inspired her to battle on.

Carmela Chillery-Watson, who has a muscle-wasting disease, brought movie actress Gal Gadot, 35, to the edge of tears in a special video shown on TV.

Gal called Carmela “my real Wonder Girl” in a tweet in September.

The youngster had just completed a 300km walking challenge dressed as her favourite superhero to raise over £15,000 for Muscular Dystrophy UK.

The star donated £3,442 to the effort, and when she appeared on BBC’s The One Show this week, Carmela sent her a video message. 

Dressed as Wonder Woman, the youngster said: “You help me fight on living with muscular dystrophy and inspire me to do my exercise daily to help me stay strong.”

Mum-of-two Gal, star of the new Wonder Woman 1984 movie, said: “Carmela is a true Wonder Woman.

“She doesn’t let anything stop her.”
