Ant Anstead proved to be an ever-doting dad this week when he did everything to get home to his little boy Hudson after time apart. 

The British TV host documented his dismay at travel disruptions meaning he was likely to miss saying goodbye to his three-year-old before he went on vacation with his mom, Christina Hall

However, proving there's still good in the world, he was saved by a very generous Uber driver who went above and beyond for Ant.

"I managed to get an Uber and was sat in the back frantically calling to find another flight. No chance."
