The Prime Minister told the winners: “Britain is proud of you.”

'For a quarter of a century, the Pride of Britain Awards have celebrated people who embody everything that is good about Britain. Although these people come from all walks of life, they all have one thing in common. They are heroes.

“They may not be the caped superheroes we normally think of; in fact, they are just like us. But they have something very special. Courage, determination, generosity, empathy and great spirit.

'They have the power to touch our hearts, inspire us and make us proud. They are a testament to the incredible things people can achieve in the face of adversity.'

This comes after Zara recently revealed to her followers what it's like living with her partner Sam Thompson.

The former Made in Chelsea star, 32, was diagnosed with ADHD when she was 30 and following her diagnosis she joined ADHD UK to positively change what it means to live with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

During an Instagram Q&A earlier this month, a follower asked Zara: 'What's it like living with someone with ADHD?' I'll keep it, how does my partner feel x'.

Zara candidly revealed to a follower that she “loves Sam for who he is,” adding that “we all have our uniqueness and individuality, neurotic or not.”

During a Q&A on Instagram, a follower asked Zara about living with someone with ADHD. The star candidly admitted that she doesn't see ADHD as something “separate” from her partner.

She said: 'At the end of the day, each of us has our own individuality, neurotic differences or not! (love heart emoji) I don't want to think that if I were with someone who didn't have ADHD, I would be a different person/partner.

'I don't really see it as something separate to my partner, it's just a part of my partner and I completely love it for who it is!'

He continued: 'Sometimes I might argue that I should be patient; People might think that Sam is always bouncing off the walls at home, but that couldn't be further from the truth!'

“He is always so relaxed at home that I would say I have more energy than him when we are at home together.”

'His job constantly requires a lot of energy, so I think time at home is his “recharge” time (smiley emoji)'

“I want him to have his own time in the afternoons, because that is very important to him because of his neurotic nature.”

'He often needs a little reset of the world, and that's totally okay, and I've never made him feel like he's not okay, because he totally is! (love heart emojis)'
