Girl born at Pink concert gets surprise backstage birthday party with the star

ITV Granada correspondent Victoria Grimes reports on a very special night.

A Pink fan, who gave birth during one of the singer's concerts five years ago, has taken her daughter back to see the star for a surprise birthday treat.

Dolly Pink's dramatic birth happened as Pink sang her opening number, Get The Party Started, when Pink played the packed gig at Anfield in June 2019.

Denise Jones took her daughter to see the star performing the second show of her Summer Carnival tour at Anfield, where they were treated to a backstage meeting with Pink, a personal 'Happy Birthday' from her idol, and a mini birthday party.

Ever the five-year-old, Dolly's reaction to Pink bringing her a cake, was to tell the singer that her Daddy had already brought her one.

Later, during the show, Pink even got the crowd involved, with thousands singing little Dolly a big Happy Birthday.

After the show, mum Denise said: "We had the best night ever!!"

"Everybody was saying to us on the way out: "OMG is that the little girl Dolly?" Everyone was wishing her Happy Birthday. It was the cutest".

ITV Granada Reports correspondent Victoria Grimes met up with Dolly Pink and her mum before the concert.

Dr John Matthews from Whiston Hospital and GP Dr Dani Berg were both on duty as crowd doctors at Anfield when the drama unfolded.

They were at the opposite end of the stadium when the call came that Denise had gone into labour.

Accompanied by stewards, the medical team had to negotiate a quick path through thousands of people to reach her in the Main Stand.

This is how we reported the story back in 2019.

Dolly Pink was delivered underneath the seating area at the Liverpool FC stadium.

Emergency consultant Dr Matthews told the mum and daughter on Tuesday: "You caused a bit of bother last time we were here.

"We don't normally deliver babies at Anfield so it was a bit of a surprise. But it all went ok!"

Dolly Pink waves to the camera on her 5th birthday.

The singer reacted to the news on her Instagram at the time, posting "Dolly Pink wants to get the party started".
