TV presenter Martin Roberts, best known for presenting the popular BBC daytime property show Homes Under the Hammer, has spoken of the “massive responsibility” he feels to help the people of Ukraine as he completes his “humanitarian mercy dash” to the border with a vanful of emergency supplies.
Mr Roberts, 58, set out from Bournemouth last week with a shipment of aid for the refugees currently fleeing Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked military assault on Russia’s western neighbour, a 1,270-mile journey taking him via Dover and Calais across northern Europe to Medyka on the Polish border with Ukraine.
