"We try to do something really special for them at Christmas."

Today, Rob had an emotional chat with Mark Cordina from Hoo, Rochester, who was nominated by his best friend Kirk Wyatt after his wife, Vikki, passed away in August, aged 43.

In his nomination, Kirk said: "I would like to nominate my best friend Mark and his six-year-old daughter Amelia.

"Three months ago his wife and her mother got taken ill with an ear infection, but later that night she was pronounced dead due to meningitis.

"Neither of them had a chance to say goodbye and Mark has had to quit his job to look after Amelia and deal with the enormous tasks his wife used to undertake while looking after Amelia, while he worked.

"Mark has done an amazing job continuing and I believe wholeheartedly that they both deserve a treat.”

Rob said even though he knew there was nothing he could do to bring Vikki back, but he wanted to do something for Mark and Amelia, that would allow them to make new memories.

"We would like to give you £800 Centre Parcs vouchers, which will get you a week away with Amelia, and we are going to throw £200 in your bank account," he told Mark.

"Hopefully it will put a tiny little bit of happiness back in your life."
