DAME Barbara Windsor’s widower Scott Mitchell has hailed NHS “angels” celebrated in our Who Cares Wins Awards.
The annual ceremony recognising health staff, volunteers and charity workers is on Channel 4 next Sunday.
Scott, 60, saw their work first-hand as he helped EastEnders star Babs battle dementia.
He said: “I don’t refer to the NHS workers as staff, but as angels.
"The same for those in care homes.
From tongue scraping to saying no, here are 12 health trends to try in 2023
"The kindness and love they show your family when you are in need is beyond anything.”
Scott also said it’s mad that showbiz and pop stars get awards recognition while health workers get little thanks.
That’s why he’s backing our awards, sponsored by The National Lottery and in partnership with NHS Charities Together.
Babs died aged 83 in 2020 but Babs’ Army raises millions for Alzheimer’s Research.
Scott said: “I’m incredibly proud of her.
"She’ll always be in my heart.”
