Olly Murs stunned a brave police officer by presenting with a Pride of Britain Award on the set of The Voice.
In September 2018, PC Claire Bond was responding to reports a car had crashed into a garage near the route of a 10k race.
Drug dealer Gurajdeep Malhi had smashed into parked cars while fleeing police in a hired BMW.
PC Bond, a mother of four from Staffordshire, jumped into action ans tried to grab his car keys and fearlessly struggled with Malhi.
She was determined to stop his driving, because if he escaped, he was heading straight for the route of the race which was packed with runners.
During the struggle Claire was run over, dragged along the ground and crushed against a fence.
She was eventually pulled to safety but had to undergo a five-hour operation to save her shattered leg.
While Malhi fled on foot and was later arrested and jailed for 12 years.
PC Bond's was unable to return to work for 18 months as she recovered from her injuries and returned to work on April 1 on the COVID -19 frontline.
Thanks to the Pride of Britain, Claire's selfless act has not gone unrewarded.
The brave mum was taken to The Voice studio and given a go on one of the iconic spinning chairs.
But as she was settling in, pop star Olly started singing behind her, as it finally dawned on mega-fan Claire who was behind her.
As Olly belted out hit song Dear Darlin' Claire's tears quickly started to flow before pressed the buzzer and was surprised by the former X Factor star.
"I have heard all about your story and your incredible bravery," said Olly.
"You are an extraordinary person, an amazing person, and I wish I could give you a big hug," he told her.
A year after her incident, PC Bond took part in the same race she helped save to raise money for the charity Care of Police Survivors.
She covered the first 9km in a wheelchair but walked the final kilometre.
The Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Awards, in partnership with TSB, is broadcast tonight at 9pm on ITV.
