It comes after the 21-year-old won two gold medals and a bronze at the games in London.

It's been a memorable week for Sammi, who was also surprised with a homecoming party in the village last night.
Locals organised bunting, banners and balloons to decorate the main street and lined up to welcome her from the airport.
