British ballroom dancer and television presenter Anton du Beke has been announced as an ambassador for The Sick Children’s Trust, following in the footsteps of fellow ambassadors Jen Pringle and Tim Downie.

Du Beke commented 'I am absolutely delighted to officially become an ambassador for The Sick Children’s Trust. I can’t imagine, and I never want to imagine my children not being well, but if I did, I would want to be able to stay somewhere near them. The charity offers a solution to families who need to be close to their children at such a critical time by offering welcoming "homes from home"'.
