What can viewers expect from the Pride of Britain Awards 2022?

Countdown legend Carol Vorderman, who has hosted the show since 1999, is once again back as presenter of the awards. The TV star will be joined by Diversity dancer and Dancing on Ice judge Ashley Banjo.

The event was held at the Grosvenor hotel in London earlier this week, but the star has opened up about viewers can look forward to when they watch on TV: "We'll have 12 incredible winners again this year, but it's difficult for the judging panel because we have thousands of nominations and everyone on the shortlist could easily win."
