Superstar Tahlia up for the Cup

TAHLIA Cooper has netted another TV role - only weeks after appearing in the McDonald's Christmas commercial.

The Leesfield St Thomas Primary School pupil (7) sailed through auditions to star in the BBC’s FA Cup third round promotion trailer, which sees the Lees schoolgirl eagerly anticipating the results of the draw at home with her TV family.

Tahlia’s mum Louise Brown says she can’t believe how much the youngster’s acting career has taken off, with two more castings for commercial work this week.

“We had to go to London for the audition and it was absolutely rammed with children auditioning,” said proud Louise. The other kids were in and out, but Tahlia went in and didn’t came out for ages. Someone came and said they had seen her in the McDonalds ad and asked if she could she sing and dance. We found out next day she had been picked.

The little star filmed in Croydon for two days: “The producer absolutely loved her. He kept calling her his little superstar!” said Louise.
