A patient at Monash Children’s Hospital has stepped into the limelight, voicing a character in the new ABC children’s animation, Do Not Watch This Show.
Seven-year-old Bonnie took on the role of ‘Red Jelly’.
There was nothing wobbly about her performance. She delivered her lines with aplomb!

The show’s creator – the author of the acclaimed Do Not Open This Book series, entertainer Andy Lee – visited Bonnie on Canopy ward, to give her a sneak peek of her scene before the program’s release.
Bonnie and her ‘agent’, aka mum Kellie, surprised Andy with a gift – a pot of red jelly!
Bonnie, who was diagnosed with a brain tumour when she was 2, was a VIP at the show’s premiere at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI).
She attended the event with her family.

Though we STRONGLY advise, Do Not Watch This Show as it may cause a highly contagious fit of the giggles!
