Pride of Britain Awards 2011: Winner Tom Phillips an "inspiration" say Ant and Dec

Ant and Dec giving Tom Phillips the child of the year award at tonights pride of britain.

Ant and Dec said: "The youngster is an inspiration."

Ant said: "What he did was incredible. If it was Dec who was faced being charged down with a bull I would have left the bull to it."

Tom, now 11, said: "I'm having the most amazing evening ever. I can't believe I met Ant and Dec, they're brilliant.

"I can't believe my whole family is here. My dad is here as well. He's really proud.

"I'm going to put the trophy in my bedroom.

"I wasn't supposed to drive the tractor because Mum had told me never to go near. But I'm glad I did. It's the reason Dad is still here today."

Standing next to him at the awards ceremony, Ant said: "He's such a courageous young man he deserves all this success today. There are many wonderful stories but this rates as one of the most incredible.

"This is why we come here every year, because of people like Tom."
