Ben Shephard's emotional Health Star nomination

It was an emotional moment when Ben Shephard was asked to reveal his Health Star as part of our new campaign.

Ben fought back tears as he nominated his health hero Mr Asif Hasan, a surgeon at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle, who helped to save the life of his best friend's son, Sebastian.

Sebastian was born with a potentially fatal heart condition and had to have life-saving surgery when he was just four months old. He was told he would only live until he was two, but in January Seb celebrated his seventh birthday.

We caught up with little Seb and his parents Ivan and Nadine Hollingsworth who set up a charity to show their gratitude to the children's heart ward.
