A COURAGEOUS youngster from Clacton will be standing up to cancer as he takes to the stage with Nicole Scherzinger.

Joshua Borley, 11, will perform alongside the former Pussycat Doll and X Factor judge as part of a Cancer Research UK campaign tonight.

The Clacton Coastal Academy pupil, who was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma when he was just five, will sing to millions of viewers live on Channel 4 when he joins the Stand Up To Cancer Children’s Choir.
