He tweeted this week alongside a picture of the pair at the special event: "My little superstar Amber I wish I wasn’t writing this, your passing the night before your 9th birthday has crushed me. I know you will be watching and singing at every gig I do and I’ll carry your spirit and smile with me forever. Love to the family x F*** you cancer! RIP Amber."

Make-A-Wish UK commented: "The lovely Amber. Granting her wish 'to have a festival' is something we'll never forget and her bright smile will always be remembered by all of us at Make-A-Wish UK. We're sending the warmest wishes to you Tom."

The 27-year-old star will be joined by a special guest for each episode, including Vicky McClure, Roman Kemp, Jaackmaate, Mimi Webb and Zara McDermott.
