PRIDE OF BRITAIN AWARDS
Thursday, 8pm, ITV1 Awards

Q What’s so special about the Pride of Britain Awards?

A It’s a magical atmosphere, with over 1,000 people attending the event every year to support these unsung heroes. I’d hosted on my own since it started in 1999, but recently I’ve been joined by the lovely Ashley Banjo.

Q What makes Ashley the perfect co-host?

A He’s a real grafter who has always had this great sense of responsibility for his family – not just his blood family, but his Diversity dance family, too. He’s also not afraid to fight for a cause!
