Mersey Girls member Julia Carlile suffered from scoliosis

Julia Carlile is one of the members of the dance group Mersey Girls who was born on January 19, 2002.

The dance squad shot to fame after making an appearance on 'Britain's Got Talent' in 2017.

Carlile had scoliosis, a medical condition that results in the twisting and curving of the spine. "Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that most often is diagnosed in adolescents," as per the Mayo Clinic. 

Some common symptoms of the condition include uneven shoulders, one shoulder blade that appears more prominent than the other, uneven waist, one hip higher than the other, one side of the rib cage jutting forward, and a prominence on one side of the back when bending forward.

The 'AGT' judge Simon Cowell paid £175,000 for Julia's scoliosis surgery, according to a report by The US Sun

Back in the day, Carlile went to America to undergo two procedures for her scoliosis. 

While having a chat with Mirror in October 2017, the talented dancer who serves as the leader of Mersey Girls said, "Dancing again, surrounded by my friends, is the best feeling in the world."
