This Morning viewers were left in tears after an 'incredible' little boy battling cancer donated his Christmas presents to children in hospital.
On today's show, Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby were joined by an inspiring eight-year-old boy called Elliott who began donating his Christmas presents to the local hospital two years ago.
Sadly, Elliott was diagnosed with a brain tumour earlier this year but has vowed to continue raising funds for those in need.
Calling into the studio via a video call, Elliott and his parents Christian and Samantha spoke about their inspiring toy appeal.
The family's Christmas appeal began two years ago when Elliott said that he had 'enough' things and wanted to cheer up children in hospital over the festive period.
Since then, the appeal has snowballed and Elliott has received an overwhelming amount of support in his bid to help other children in need over the festive period.
Sadly, Elliott began to feel unwell during the recent lockdown and in July the doctors diagnosed the youngster with a brain tumour.
His experience in hospital during the Covid-19 pandemic also put a huge strain on his family, who were trying to stay positive.
Elliott had the tumour removed and has since been recovering with his family, however he has only began to speak again in recent months.
Despite bravely battling the brain tumour, Elliott has also incredibly continued with his efforts to donate toys to other children in need during Christmas.
Elliott had told his parents that the thought of helping others had kept him going.
There were certainly emotional scenes in the studio as Phillip and Holly gifted the youngster a Christmas present of his own for all of his recent efforts.
Viewers also flocked to social media to praise Elliott for his fundraising while bravely battling cancer.
"So moved by this brave and kindhearted boy Elliot. So glad Philip and Holly decided to spin the wheel for them," wrote one fan.
"How proud must the parents of that lovely lad Elliot on @thismorning what a kind and lovely lad, god bless him #thismorning," added another.
A third added: "what an amazing young man Elliot is! Gorgeous family. Thank you Elliot for doing what you have done and continue to do for children in hospital even while continuing your own recovery x."
Others also went on to ask ITV how they could send Elliot a present of their own.
