Scots woman who told UK about cancer struggles on TV facing jail for sectarian abuse
30.07.2023 - 04:07 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A woman who as a child told millions on TV of her battle with a rare cancer has been exposed as a sectarian bigot.
Reebeka Climson, 27, appeared on the BBC’s Children in Need programme 16 years ago, saying her dream was to beat the disease and become a doctor or lawyer. But she now faces jail after shouting “f*** the Pope” at an orange walk in Glasgow’s Duke Street on July 2 last year.
Climson, of the city’s Easterhouse, also hurled abuse at cops Kelly Anne Brown and Rebecca Ferns and spat at them as they tried to help her after she suffered a head injury. She made the news aged 11 when she was given a 20 per cent chance of surviving a rare bone cancer. The diagnosis was made after she fell off her bike.
Climson then appeared in an appeal for Children in Need. She was also a mascot at a Rangers game and was chauffeured in a Rolls-Royce to Ibrox Stadium.
In an interview at the time, she said: “There’s so much I still want to do. If I can help other children with cancer along the way, that’s even better.”
But, 16 years later, Climson has ended up in the dock at Glasgow Sheriff Court facing jail. She pled guilty to behaving in a threatening or abusive manner aggravated by religious prejudice.
She also admitted assaulting the two cops. The court heard the officers had been escorting a parade from the city centre to Duke Street.
Climson – who had a cut on her head – was approached by the cops. There was a conversation between the trio before Climson “became abusive” to the officers.
Prosecutor Mark Allan said: “She began to shout and swear at them and made abusive as well as sectarian remarks. She called them f***ing pigs, that they couldn’t tell her what to do. She said ‘f*** the Pope’.”
Climson was then arrested and it was decided
