UK Issues Visa for Terminally Ill DJ Adrian O’Grady’s Daughter, Enabling Christmas Reunion

Media inquiries following a hospital plea preceded the Home Office decision to issue the daughter's visa.

Overview

  • The 42-year-old Glaswegian was recently diagnosed with stage-four colon cancer and remains in hospital considering treatment options.
  • His fiancée Yanti’s visitor visa was approved, but four-year-old Chloe’s application was stuck for weeks, forcing five cancelled flights.
  • A consultant at Queen Elizabeth Hospital urged urgent consideration on humanitarian grounds, citing a life-limiting prognosis.
  • Singapore Airlines said it credited the family’s missed tickets so they can travel as soon as arrangements are set.
  • No official explanation has been given for the delay, which Adrian says has cost nearly £10,000 in fast-track fees and rebooked flights.
