Pride of Britain host Carol Vorderman wipes away tears as she admits 'I'm having a moment'

Carol Vorderman was emotional as she teared up over a Pride of Britain winner.

The Pride of Britain host was joined by winner Florrie on the blue sofa today to chat about the awards, which happened earlier this week and will air this Thursday on . Florrie Bark was surprised by Perrie Edwards from , who told her she had won this year's Child of Courage award at the Daily Pride of Britain Awards, in partnership with TSB.

To celebrate her win, Carol joined Florrie on . When host remarked that Carol had been doing the show for several years, Carol explained that the show still touched her and wiped away her tears as she admitted "I'm having a moment".

Florrie battled acute myeloid leukaemia from a young age and is currently waiting for a lung transplant. Despite the curveballs life has thrown her, she has always remained positive and inspires others with her journey.

"It feels so strange, and I feel so happy and excited to win a Pride of Britain award. When Perrie started talking to me I was so shocked, and I was like, ‘What is going on?’ I didn’t know what to do. I was so happy," Florrie told The Mirror after winning her award. "I’ve always wanted to meet the singer and I love her music. I write my own songs and I want one day to be like Perrie. I love her."

Perrie also heaped praise on Florrie, describing her as her best friend. She said: "She is so cute and adorable. We are new best friends. For a little girl going through so much, her outlook on life is just so fun and fab. I just think she is great. I absolutely love her. She is so deserving of a Pride of Britain Award, the way she sees life she is just 10 out of 10."

Carol previously confessed she finds it hard not to cry with the emotional stories - but doesn't want it to all be about her.

"In the early days, that was quite difficult. But I always took the view, and I still do, that if the hosts get too emotional, it becomes about the hosts - and it shouldn't be. You should be there to guide the winners and help them have the best night. There are many ways you can host something like this. You can be the huggy person - that's my natural state, to be the hugger - but I prefer to be more like a conduit," she explained.

"I'm slightly more formal than in normal life because we're talking about very emotional things. You have to remember, these award winners have gone through trauma - then they're standing up in front of a room full of famous faces. So, we're there to give them confidence and ease their nerves."
