Good Morning Britain viewers were choked up today when little Ella Chadwick received a special gift for Christmas, after she raised thousands of pounds for sick children.
The 11-year-old, who has undergone over 40 operations due to being born with a rare kidney condition, brought a big smile to the studio as she got a festive surprise from the nation’s favourite fox, Basil Brush!
Her reaction to opening a Disney Princess Jasmine doll on the GMB sofa was absolutely adorable.
Unwrapping the toy, she hugged it, gave Basil a kiss and gasped: “Thank you!”
