Chris replied: “Can I just say, thank you so much for getting me through the lockdown. And thank you for today.”

Viewers took to social media following the sweet moment, with one writing: “SPEAK YOUR STORY, CHRIS. No-one better cuss Chris about telling her story. The worries she has and her disability being stopped is because of the government actively hurting the citizens they feel are below them. So glad that £6000 is going to help.”
