You're an amazing person that does so much for so many different people and everything you have to go through and are going through, but you care about so many other people, you care about being, I've heard, an ambassador for the Acorn Children's Hospice, which is incredible… The reason I'm here today is to surprise you with the news that you've won a Pride of Britain award."
