A WARRINGTON teenager is set to appear in a BBC One documentary next week.

The documentary will air on Tuesday, November 15, as part of the BBC's annual Children in Need coverage.

18-year-old Quinlan Dunne will feature in the Children in Need documentary that followed this year's 'Rickshaw Relay' event, which was led by Matt Baker.

Quinlan joined the relay when it set off from Warrington, heading to Wrexham, on a journey spanning almost 40 miles.

The teenager cycled the journey alongside the well-known TV presenter, and the pair set off from the Parr Hall on Tuesday, October 18.

Quinlan was chosen to take part in the relay because he has benefited from a Children in Need-funded child bereavement charity, which supported him when he lost his brother in 2016.

The charity gave Quinlan support following the tragic death of his brother, River Reeves, who was part of the band Viola Beach - River was just 19 when he died.

Matt Baker was accompanied by just five riders on this year's relay, making Quinlan one of a select few chosen in the whole country to take part in the iconic charity event.

The relay took place between October 17 and October 21, and it covered locations such as Sunderland, Warrington, Wrexham, Birmingham, and Aberystwyth.

Speaking to the Warrington Guardian as the pair set off from the Parr Hall, Matt Baker said: "Quinlan is going to absolutely smash it, and all of these young riders have all benefited from Children in Need in the past.

"Quinlan has benefited from a child bereavement fund, and he's brilliant."

Before the event took place, Quinlan said: "Child Bereavement UK helped support me through one of the toughest moments in my life when I lost my brother, and that support was invaluable.

"I’m taking part in this challenge to give back and help other young people who are going through a tough time to get back on their feet."
