He said: "Everything that my mum does and believes in revolves around us and nothing really revolves around her – so tonight mum, this is for you as you are the most special person in all of our lives. What you do for me, for Joanne, for Lynn, for all of our grandkids is irreplaceable, so tonight is for you. You should enjoy it and have one more glass of Cointreau and lemonade! We love you and we appreciate everything you do and like I said, everything you do, you do if for everyone else so tonight should be about you. We love you."

Meanwhile, David and his dad Ted reflected on the joys of being a parent as they shared sweet stories and old anecdotes in a new video ahead of Father's Day on Sunday. David opened up about the moment he first became a dad in 1999. "I remember the moment when Brooklyn was born, I slept with my head against the door because I was so worried that someone was going to come in," he confessed. "I don't think that ever changes, you always worry about them." Agreeing, Ted then remarked: "That's a part of being parents. What I'm chuffed about with your boys is how polite they are."
