00:28and emotional support to his children. One of whom has cerebral palsy, ensuring he receives

00:35the reassurance and care that he needs. He also prioritises his daughter's needs in their

00:42often challenging home environment. The winner of our Dad of the Ward this year is Martin

00:49Pellant and Martin is the last Annabelle who won't let you have care of the ward earlier.

00:55It's been a busy year in your household and I would have thought always a busy time in

00:59your household. Do you ever get a chance just to switch off?

01:02Occasionally. Good. Is this evening one of those evenings?

01:06No. It's not. I've been on tennis courts, I'll be honest with you.

01:10Really? Yeah. For now, I'm out of my comfort zone and I'm here under a bit of sufferance really.

01:17This is yours and you're Dad of the Year. That's quite something.

01:21It's for these guys really because they're just amazing and it makes it fun for me.

01:28That's what it does.
