Busted star Matt Willis is spending some of his new-found millions on making his disabled sister happy.
Matt treated wheelchair-bound Amanda, 16, who has cerebal palsy, with his first pay cheque from the chart-topping band. He bought her a new wheelchair and a Mondeo estate car so she could be driven around more easily.
The band have a £1million record contract and their debut album sold a million copies.
Matt, 20, says: “The minute I knew my first pay cheque was coming I already planned to treat Amanda to something special.
“Up until then she’d had to make do with an old clumsy wheelchair from the council which made it difficult for her to get around. She’s really active and loves to play basketball. When she was younger we used to play together. I decided to surprise her with a new sporty model and she was over the moon. It was worth every penny.”
Bass guitarist Matt, from Surrey, has enjoyed a hugely successful year with Busted who had no1 hits with You Said No and Crashed the Wedding.
The band, who include Charlie Simpson, 18, and James Bourne, 20, perform widly on stage. But when it comes to his sister Matt shows his softer side. He says: “Amanda and me are so close it’s unbelievable – there’s nothing we can’t talk about.
“It really annoys me when people talk to her as if she’s stupid just because she’s in a wheelchair. I think ‘You aren’t talking to a baby, you idiot.’ It is just ignorance – just because someone has a disability doesn’t mean they lack intelligence.”
However, Amanda is a big fan of Busted’s arch-rivals Blue. Matt, who formerly used the surname Jay, says: “I’ve know Blue’s Lee Ryan for years after going to singing auditions with him. Amanda always fancied him – and she loves to tease me about it.”
Matt and Amanda are both supporters of the charity WizKids which provides equipment for children with disabilities.
He also bought his older brother Darren, 22, a new car – and wants to move his mother into a new house
