A moving new Christmas advert has been released by Very.co.uk, featuring the talents of a gifted young singer and pianist.

Reeah, the 11-year-old girl who stars in Very's new Christmas advert, sings, plays the cello, and plays the piano – despite being born partially sighted.

Due to her visual impairment, Reeah couldn't walk or talk until she was two years old. But before she was even talking, she was humming nursery rhymes.

As a result of her musical gift, she stars in Very.co.uk's Christmas advert this year. The campaign is about "giving a gift that helps you find your gift".

In the behind-the-scenes video we see Reeah singing, playing the piano and percussion instruments, and ultimately creating the soundtrack to Very's new Christmas advert.

"When I'm playing my music I feel proud of myself, like it's meant to be," says Reeah. "It makes me feel good and makes me more creative. When I grow up I want to do something with art, and I want to include music in it."

Our cockles are well and truly warmed.
