A teenager was given the surprise of her life after winning the chance to become an Olympic torchbearer.

Boyband The Wanted gave Elodie Lafosse, 17, the good news in the middle of Carnaby Street, London.

Elodie, of Brook Street, Colne Engaine, was one of three people picked from thousands in the Coca-Cola Future Flames competition.

She has bravely coped with chronic fatigue syndrome and the death of her sister Juliette, five, from leukaemia.

Judges were impressed by her entry, which described her passion to teach disabled children how to dance.
