Was anyone else crying tonight when the 14 year old Dylan appeared on the show tonight with his mum?

Dylan is an exceptionally bright and intelligent boy, who obtained GCSE’s at the age of 6! Dylan also wrote a 72,000 word novel at the age of 13.

Dylan was badly bullied in school and ended up being home tutored by his mother. His mum now feels as if she is out of her depth and Dylan has ended up mostly teaching himself.

Dylan requested £38,000 so that he could attend a private college for four years at which point he wants to attend university.

Jeffrey Archer was quick to say yes to Dylan, as was Jacqueline Gold. Simon Jordan took a bit of persuading, but finally agreed to give the money to Dylan.

Both Dylan and his mum were moved to tears and could barely talk to Richard when he came out. A really nice, personal story. I have really enjoyed the show tonight.
