He was presented with his own special NSPCC PBSG trophy by chairman Chris Collier.
The event, sponsored by Buckles Solicitors LLP and The Larkfleet Group, included a three-course dinner and charity auction, where a pair of tickets to see the Cliftons in action at one of their shows alone raised over £3,000.
Audiences were also treated to a cameo performance of Matilda by young performers from the Tu Danse school who also recently performed at. Her Majesty’s Theatre in London.

Organiser of Strictly Razzle Dazzle, Carol Collier said: “We had another fantastic evening and the dancing from Kevin and Karen was spectacular.
