A GREAT Sankey teen has become the face of an anti-bullying campaign which is being supported by One Direction.

Around 200,000 of the boy band's fans saw budding pop star Chloe-Rose Cowan in a video made by the Anti-Bullying Alliance on the big screens at Millennium Stadium over two nights.

The video, created for Anti-Bullying Week, saw her play a girl being picked on at school with information about where you can turn if it is happening to you or someone else.

Chloe, a Great Sankey High pupil, travelled to London for the filming which was shot in the same place as Educating Essex.

She and her mum Debbie were also treated to a VIP box at Millennium Stadium over the weekend to see the video launch during One Direction's On the Road Again tour.

It was broadcast three times before support band McBusted and four times before One Direction on both nights.

"I was delighted," said Chloe-Rose, whose brother Kameron played Jason Manford's son in Warrington-based BBC One drama Ordinary Lies.

"It demonstrated that the bands support the message and that help is out there. It was incredible that they wanted to share the video with their fans.

"I was honoured and overjoyed to be given the opportunity to deliver such an important and powerful message.

"My mum and I were guests and the atmosphere was fantastic, we were very well looked after.

"It was amazing to be part of such a huge event and especially seeing the crowd receiving the message from the video."

Chloe-Rose may have been seen on Millennium Stadium's video screens but she is used to stepping on stage as well.

The singer, whose heroes are Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus, performed at Wembley Arena in March 2014 for Voice in a Million.

The concert raises awareness of the millions of children worldwide who do not have a family to take care of them and Chloe-Rose was selected as a soloist to perform in front of 10,000 people.

She has also been studying music, piano and rehearsing songs that she will be performing at a Manchester United Legends game on Sunday, hosted by Pete Pinnington.

Unfortunately Chloe-Rose did not get the chance to meet One Direction over the weekend but the band are expected to tweet her during Anti-Bullying Week from November 16 to 29.

Chloe-Rose added: "I wanted to get involved with the campaign because I believe that it offers real help to those suffering.

"Understanding the responsibility, I did a lot of research to portray the character and hope the video encourages victims to speak out and get the support that's there for them.

"Anti-Bullying Alliance offers great support to victims and has lots of helpful advice. I hope the video will encourage anyone suffering from bullying seek help."

Lauren Seager-Smith, national coordinator of the Anti-Bullying Alliance, said: “We need to empower children and young people to make a noise about bullying – wherever and whenever it happens.

"Through Anti-Bullying Week we will give teachers the tools they need to respond quickly and effectively to resolve bullying when it happens, and parents and carers the information they need to support their children with these issues”

Lucie Russell, from charity Young Minds, added: "Bullying has a tremendous impact on a young person’s mental health and the effects can last for a long time even when the bullying itself stops.

"Young people tell us that they want to see long-term support for everyone who is affected by bullying.

"Too many children are struggling to speak out about bullying and the effects it is having on their lives."
