Last Monday (October 21) Michael Sheen and his partner Anna Lundberg attended this year’s edition of Pride of Britain Awards. This time, he went as both a presenter and a judge. Check out photos of their appearance on our gallery:
Michael also announced he’s backing the Pride of Britain hero Florrie Bark to reach £1 million by Christmas:
Hollywood royalty Michael Sheen is backing the Mirror’s campaign to help Florrie Bark raise £1million for charity.
The star of Good Omens said: “She just shines and everyone is drawn to her. She puts a smile on everyone’s face. For someone who has gone through so much herself, to want to make everybody around her feel better is amazing. Everyone needs a Florrie in their life.”
As a judge for the Daily Mirror’s 25th Pride of Britain Awards, with TSB, the moment Michael read about Florrie’s mission he knew she deserved a Child of Courage award.
The eight-year-old was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia in 2022 and is now awaiting a lung transplant. When she is well enough, she devotes every spare moment to making TikTok videos to increase awareness of child cancer and raise money for Bemorefab – the charity she launched to help children with cancer continue vital education.
Recalling the judging process, dad-of-two Michael, 55, added: “We saw a little video of her, so I knew she was a real star. We absolutely wanted her to be on the show and we knew people would really respond to her. She’s clearly an incredibly special human being, she just lights up the room. She’s such a larger-than-life personality in this tiny body.”
Florrie said: “We’ve raised over £100,000 already, we can get three teachers for our charity. A million pounds would get a lot of teachers.” And her mum, Stacey Bark, added: “Every child deserves an education, it’s a basic human right.”
