Ben Hedger, from Deepcut, won the Child of Courage Award at the Pride of Britain Awards for his heroic efforts
Ben met Liam Payne
Ben attended an event in London not knowing he was recieving a Pride of Britain Award. Ben was invited to play a Nintendo Switch game against someone else, who was sitting on the opposite side of a divide.
Former One Direction member Liam Payne craftily took over as Ben's opponent then surprised him when Ben came round to see who had beat him.
Lauren said: "Ben turned around, looked at him and smiled, then after a couple of seconds he realised who it was and it was really funny.
"Liam told him he had won the award, got out a golden envelope and said 'The reason I am here is to say you have won a Pride of Britain Award'. Ben just burst out crying.
"He was so happy and overwhelmed. He had the shock of Liam Payne and now he had the shock of winning an award."
