Carol Vorderman has vowed never to judge the Pride Of Britain Awards again, because it's too hard choosing between the finalists.

The TV presenter will host the awards for the 11th time on October 5, but revealed she didn't enjoy the task of whittling down the list of deserving nominees to choose the winners.

Carol said: "I was on the panel once, but said I wouldn't do it again after that - it was too hard - everyone on the shortlist deserves it."

She added: "My excuse is I say 'I don't think I should be on the panel' but the truth is I found it very difficult."

Carol revealed some of the winners don't even understand what they have done to deserve the recognition they get at the Pride Of Britain Awards.

She said: "They are terribly modest people, some of them exude an air that says they're not into new-age anything. You sense a presence around them, like they're so good and full of goodness, largely. Others are exceptionally brave, or so kind. And loving to everyone. They take your breath away. But they don't think they're special, in fact some are even embarrassed by it.

"They don't realise why they're there. They praise the other winners, genuinely, because they recognise what the other people have done is marvellous but they don't see what they've done as being special."
