Little Margot Martini has finally gone home after a life-saving bone marrow transplant.

The toddler captured the hearts of millions as she battled a rare form of leukaemia.

Her parents Yaser and Vicki, originally from Essington, near Wolverhampton, launched a huge internet campaign to find a stem cell match after the 19-month-old was diagnosed last October.

Margot had the transplant in February after a donor was found. Earlier today she left Great Ormond Street Hospital in London to return home.

Margot was diagnosed with leukaemia aged just 14 months – sparking a worldwide hunt to find her perfect stem cell match.

More than 50,000 people signed up to a campaign to see if they could be her perfect match.
