Tinie Tempah is supporting this years awards

Tinie Tempah, Leona Lewis and Rupert Grint are just a few of the stars that are backing the Little Star Awards.

These unique awards, run by Cancer Research UK in partnership with TK Maxx, celebrate the courage of British children who have faced cancer.

Relatives and friends of young cancer patients or survivors from across the UK are being urged to nominate them now for special recognition in the run up to Christmas.

Tinie Tempah says: "I'm honoured to be supporting the Cancer Research UK Little Star Awards this year. Every child and young person nominated for an award has shown true courage while undergoing gruelling treatment for cancer.

Nominating someone you know is a great way to recognise their bravery and give them the huge credit they deserve."

All Little Stars receive a special trophy, £50 TK Maxx gift card and certificate signed by their favourite celebrities.

Harry Potter star Rupert Grint, says: "Supporting Cancer Research UK's Little Star Awards is a privilege. The awards are a fantastic way of recognising the bravery and courage of all children and their families who have been affected by cancer. Each and every child is a hero.

"I'm proud to be able to play a part in raising awareness of the awards and I think that it's wonderful that Cancer Research UK is helping to bring a little bit of magic to the children's lives in this way."

Other stars who are also supporting the awards include, children's author Jacqueline Wilson, world 5,000 metres champion Mo Farah, world heptathlon silver medallist Jessica Ennis and England and Arsenal player Jack Wilshere.

Jack says: "Cancer Research UK do a fantastic job and the Little Star Awards is a great cause.

"The children are so brave and I'm delighted to be supporting them."

Last year more than 200 children from across the UK received a Little Star Award.
