Pride of Britain Awards
The Pride of Britain Awards is an annual award ceremony which has taken place in the United Kingdom since May 1999 and first televised on ITV in April 2000.
The awards honour British people who have acted bravely or extraordinarily in challenging situations and have been presented solely by Carol Vorderman since 1999, and co-presented by Ashley Banjo since 2021. Banjo had previously featured as the show's "roving reporter".
The first Pride of Britain Awards were devised by Peter Willis, and held at the Dorchester Hotel in London in May 1999. They relocated to The London Studios in 2000, and then later relocated to the Grosvenor House Hotel from the 2011 award ceremony.
On 20 October 2021, it was announced that Ashley Banjo is to co-host the award ceremony with Carol Vorderman, beginning with the 23rd ceremony onwards.
The Pride of Britain Award winners are chosen by a panel of celebrities and well-known figures from a range of backgrounds, and has included multiple appearances by Simon Cowell, Richard Branson, Fiona Phillips, Christine Bleakley, Magdi Yacoub, Richard Wallace, Eamonn Holmes and Aled Jones, chaired from 1999 to 2004 by Piers Morgan and from 2005 to 2006 by Peter Willis, founder of the awards.
The awards are organised in association with the Daily Mirror, TSB Bank (United Kingdom), Lidl, ITV, Good Morning Britain and The Prince's Trust.
In November 2020, it was announced that STV, Reach plc (owners of Daily Record) and TSB had agreed a deal which sees the Scottish broadcaster commission STV Studios to produce the inaugural Daily Record Pride of Scotland Awards, in partnership with TSB. The 90-minute landmark TV event was aired as the 2020 STV Hogmanay special, taking viewers into the New Year. The deal represents the broadcaster's biggest ever advertiser-funded single programme.
The first Pride of Britain Awards took place on 20 May 1999, however was not televised. It was held at the Dorchester Hotel in London, which was the one and only time the awards were held there.
