The 2022 Pride of Britain Awards took place on Monday night (October 24) but will be shown on ITV on Thursday (October 27). The glitzy red carpet ceremony took place at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.
ITV favourite Paul will be amongst those presenting awards to an array of inspirational Britons.
One of those to be honoured with a lifetime achievement award was Jill Allen-King OBE, who looked over the moon to be presented with her trophy by Paul.
The 82-year-old campaigner received her award for her years of services to the blind and visually-impaired. In her 50+ years of activism Jill has brought in major changes such as braille on bus buttons and textured paving at pedestrian crossings and train stations.
