Explaining why he decided to befriend  Rani, Jack said: “Cos he was in the corner by himself so I thought he would need a friend.

“He said Syria and I took a step back because you hear bad things about it on the TV. But I asked him if he wanted to join our group of friends.”

Describing how he felt, Rani said: "I was alone and I was really sad. When Jack came up to me I feel something in my heart and we became friends."

He also revealed that his mate has been helping him learn English, saying: "If I don’t understand a word he tells me what it means so I can understand it."

Those watching at home couldn’t get enough of the boys, in particular Jack for his selfless behaviour.

One person wrote: “Nice 1 Jack! 'Proper nice Manc! Lovely story..how 2b inclusive, loving & generous hearted. #Manchester #ThisMorning #educatingmanchester.”
