Having impressed at her audition Aine was chosen to do the voiceovers for Three Little Pigs and King Midas.

Aine, who now attends St Catherine's in Armagh, said: "I did the voiceovers for both programmes in one day. It was very tiring all in one day, but I enjoyed it. I'd like work in TV."

Aine, who loves singing and drama, has two brothers - Aodhan (6) and Odhran (3)

The King Midas episode of Telly Tales will be broadcast on Thursday, September 30, at 10.50am on BBC Two NI.
