After a two-year hospital stay, young cancer patient Issy would be forgiven for never wanting to see the inside of a hospital again.

But the incredible teenager has not only raised more than £80,000 for a cancer charity from her hospital bed – she's also vowed to train as a paediatric oncologist to help other people just like her.

Issy, from Horsham, Sussex, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in June 2019, just weeks before her 12th birthday.

Despite more than four years of treatment at the Royal Marsden Hospital, she's been relentless in fundraising for the hospital's own cancer charity, doing everything from organising bake sales to sponsored walks.

Brave Issy, now 15, has been nominated for a Young Hero award by her cancer consultant at the Royal Marsden Hospital, Dr Sanjay Tewari.

The glittering ceremony was presented by Davina and sponsored by The National Lottery.

It saw celebrities including Corden, Joshua, Piers MorganEmily Atack, Zara McDermott, Olivia Attword, Harry Rednapp and many others, cheering on all our lucky nominees.

To see the winners in full the awards, in partnership with NHS Charities Together, will air on Channel 4 and All 4 on Sunday at 6.30pm.
