Rhea receiving her trophy

A 10 year old girl has been officially crowned Britain's brightest child on Child Genius

Rhea won final by spelling words 'thelytokous' and 'eleemosynary' polydactylous, anachronism and thelytokous to beat contenders Stephen and Georgia.

 

Rhea, whose dream is to go to Oxford or Cambridge to be trained a doctor, clinched the coveted trophy after spelling polydactylous (meaning having many digits) and thelytokous (which means producing only females).

She was crowned the brainiest child in Britain.

The schoolgirl from private school in London triumphed in a tense final of Child Genius on Channel 4, which saw her mother intervene to help her win a point over a rival.
