Ant and Dec surprised best friends, Hughie Higginson and Freddie Xavi, during Daily Mirror’s Pride Of Britain Awards, which was aired on Thursday night.
It was revealed that the duo had won the GMB Young Fundraiser gong after they raised more than £220,000 for Royal Manchester Children's Hospital.
Hughie was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in 2020 with one of the side effects of chemotherapy leaving him with a sore jaw.
After realising his best friend's pain was soothed with a frozen slushy drink, Freddie vowed to run 2K a day for 50 days so he could raise £1000 to buy everyone on the chemotherapy ward at Manchester Children's Hospital one of the beverages.
