Five-year-old girl who lost all her limbs to meningitis melts GMB viewers’ hearts as she presents the weather

A FIVE-year-old girl who lost all her limbs to meningitis melted Good Morning Britain viewers’ hearts today as she presented the weather.

Harmonie-Rose Allen appeared on today’s show just days after completing the Bath half-marathon to talk about her achievement.

The brave girl, who uses prosthetic legs, was struck down by the deadly brain disease at ten months old.

She defied the odds to survive but needed both legs amputated at the knee and both arms removed at the elbow.

Those watching at home couldn’t get over how impressive she was as she chatted away next to GMB weathergirl Laura Tobin, telling viewers it would be cloudy in her home town of Bath today.

One person wrote: “Almost in tears of admiration watching Harmonie-Rosie crossing the line after a 13 mile half marathon. Someone so young & inspirational is truly admirable  @GMB @piersmorgan @susannareid100 @CharlotteHawkns #GMB.”

While another one commented: “Aww a brilliant weather forecast from a very brave ray of sunshine. Well done Harmonie #GMB.”

And someone else added: “@GMB Ah little Harmonie just melted my heart - what a gorgeous brave little girl!  #gmb #treasureeverymoment.”

Harmonie’s parents, Ross and Freya, saw Harmonie take her first steps just ten days before she fell ill with the deadly meningitis B virus in 2014.

Doctors told them there was just a ten per cent chance of survival and Harmonie's was one of the worst cases of the killer bug they had ever seen.

Since then the tot has had to re-learn how to feed herself, play and get around.

She was even given a doll with prosthetic arms and legs, just like her.

This weekend she completed the half marathon – she tackled the 13.1-mile course with a seven-person support team, including two of her teachers and family, who took it in turns to push her special running chair

But Harmonie-Rose was determined to cross the finish line all on her own and was cheered on by the thousands of spectators who had lined the route around Bath city centre as she completed the course in just over three hours.
