Pride of Britain viewers were left 'blubbering' and 'in tears' just minutes into the show on Thursday night after a brave cot blaze survivor picked up an award. Schoolgirl Elizabeth Soffe won the Child of Courage award after suffering life changing injuries when she was caught in a fire aged just six months.
The annual Daily Mirror Pride of Britain awards celebrate the efforts of inspirational Brits. They have taken place since 1999 in association with The Prince’s Trust, and is considered one of the most heartwarming nights of the year, bringing celebrities, politicians and sports icons together to celebrate its selfless winners.
Elizabeth Soffe, now eight, suffered the injuries as a baby while living in Qatar. However she has gone on to raise over £200,000 after running a marathon in 26 days for medics who saved her life Birmingham's Children's Hospital.
