“I had a lovely day with Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity, meeting some of the kids at the children’s hospital in Glasgow and spending time with them”, he said.

“Being in hospital at Christmas must be so hard for kids and their families, so it was really special to be asked along to surprise a few of them.”
