Alison Hammond recently had to apologize to young fundraiser Tony Hudgell after missing his recent expedition. Tony had been interviewed on This Morning, alongside 38 year old Josie Gibson, and his adoptive parents Paula and Mark, when he voiced his disappointment. He told Alison, "You needed you and you never came."
Alison apologized for not keeping her promise and explained that she had been filming The Great British Bake Off. Tony had reached the summit of the Lake District, and Alison promised to do her best to be there the next time. To make amends, she informed Tony that This Morning was donating £500 to his fundraising pot. Tony accepted her apology and said yes when asked if he had forgiven her.
Tony has raised over £1.8 million for charity in total. This includes far beyond his initial £500 target for charities such as the Tony Hudgell Foundation, Crohn's & Colitis UK, the Bendrigg Trust and The Lake District Foundation.
Tony had previously appeared on This Morning for his eighth birthday. He had an adorable reaction to the gifts he was presented, exclaiming, "I am surprised!" He looked over tickets for an upcoming Champions League game at his favorite team, Chelsea, and happily told the hosts that he "100 percent" wanted to see them play.
