Sebbie, 22, has a rare chromosome anomaly which means he lives with physical difficulties, communication challenges and moderate learning disabilities.

Pete said: “I love how kind Sebbie is.

“It’s one of those things that not everybody has but when you’ve got it, it gets you through a lot of things in life.

“People love you and want to be near you because you’re kind. Keep being you, Sebbie, as a lot of people can learn from you.”

Emily added: “I want to raise awareness about Sebbie’s amazing kindness charity.

“The aim is to spread kindness throughout our communities by encouraging people to perform small but profound actions towards others.

“It might mean something different to us all but, for me, you just never know what somebody might be going through in their life and a small act of kindness can make such a difference.”

Other stars involved include hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly and Towie‘s Amy Childs and Harry Derbidge.

Sebbie was named as the ‘UK’s kindest person’ in 2023, by KIND Snacks, after performing daily acts of kindness during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The Sebbie Hall Foundation – set up by his mother Ashley – is dedicated to spreading kindness and combating loneliness among disadvantaged and disabled young people.

Sebbie has completed over 2,000 acts of kindness overall raising more than £100,000 for charitable projects nationwide.
