Celebrities have told GB News what they think makes a British icon, as Eamonn Holmes was presented with a prestigious Icon Award.

The red carpet was packed with stars including Loose Women’s Denise Welch, socialite Lizzie Cundy, GB News’ star Nana Akua, actor Brad Moore, and many more.

During the star-studded evening, Eamonn Holmes was awarded with the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award in a sweet surprise for the GB News host.

Actor Brad Moore told GB News: " A lot of them have been passing away lately. But, just charisma. Guts. Drive. I think that’s always been one of our traits as Brits.

"It also helps to have a bit of humour I think that’s an important British trait as well.”
