In episode six of Wearside Echoes, sponsored by Mobility Care Solutions, Gemma has given an emotional insight into the life of the little boy who had such a huge impact on the world.

Bradley lost his fight to neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive form of childhood cancer, in July of 2017.

But in the six years that he lived, he made a huge difference in the world and Gemma said: "He just had this ability for everybody to fall in love with him. No matter who met him and which paths he crossed, everyone just kind of fell in love with him.

"I honestly believe that he was put on this earth to do a job, and I think he smashed it.

"He did that job, which was to raise awareness of childhood cancer and he did that so well."
