His long-standing role with the small charity shaped a donation he says will raise awareness of a rare childhood cancer.

Overview

  • Neuroblastoma UK publicly thanked Carr for his "commitment, compassion and drive" and praised him as "generous, warm, empathetic and unfalteringly kind."
  • The £87,500 prize money from the BBC spin-off is being directed to the children’s cancer charity, which highlighted the impact for its small operation.
  • Carr has served as the charity’s patron since 2016 after meeting parents of affected children, becoming its first official patron.
  • He told the Uncloaked podcast the cause is "so close to my heart" and said the funds "will literally save lives."
