Chesney Hawkes, the renowned singer known for his heartfelt ballads, showcased his compassionate side at the prestigious Pride of Britain Awards. Accompanied by his elegant wife Kristina Hawkes, Chesney, dressed impeccably in a stylish tan suit, shared his thoughts on the significance of the event and why it holds a special place in his busy schedule.
Having had a fruitful year at the age of 54, including a notable appearance on the 24th season of Celebrity Big Brother in April, Chesney continues to impress with the release of his highly acclaimed album, Living Arrows, three decades after his chart-topping hit first captured audiences’ hearts.
Looking ahead to 2026, Chesney is gearing up for an exciting nationwide tour in March, but amidst his packed schedule, one night remains particularly dear to him. Expressing his sentiments to the Mirror, Chesney emphasized the unique essence of the Pride of Britain Awards, celebrating the unsung heroes whose acts of kindness and selflessness inspire communities nationwide.
The 26th annual awards ceremony, hosted by Carol Vorderman and Ashley Banjo, attracted a plethora of glamorous personalities from various fields. However, it is the stories of the unsung heroes, including fundraisers, campaigners, resilient children, and everyday heroes, that continue to captivate and motivate audiences year after year.
Among the attendees, Jess Phillips also highlighted the importance of positivity and celebration, amidst the often somber news cycle. Emphasizing the potential for positive change on both personal and societal levels, she acknowledged the uplifting impact of such events.
