BIG-HEARTED Homes Under The Hammer presenter Martin Roberts has revealed he is delivering supplies to Poland to help Ukrainian refugees.
The daytime TV favourite, 58, took to his instagram today for the first time since he cried after being banned from a shop where he was trying to buy Calpol for children in Ukraine.
He gave an important update about how things have changed since that moment when viral last week.
Martin caption the video: “Thank you for all your kind messages after my Costco experience. They meant the world. Things have moved on. Quite dramatically
Please join me on a very special trip…”
He then went on to explain what the next step in his mission is.
“A lot has happened since my last tweet outside Costco,” he said. “And just to reiterate I wasn’t crying because I couldn’t buy Calpol, I was crying because of the kindness of stranger and also the general situation.
He then added: “And I admit it I am an emotional mushbucket.”
Martin went on to reveal he was in his VW van because he was on his way to the Ukrainian/Polish border.
He explained: “I was asked by a charity in Bournemouth to join their convoy to actually held to the Polish-Ukrainian border to take loads of supplies to quite literally the front line.”
He revealed he has bought lots of supplies from shops and hopes to be there in the next 24 hours.
“I will hopefully be having a chance to see where this stuff goes and make sure it goes to the right places and just do my bit.”
He stressed: “I am not doing this for any other reason other than me wanting to do what I can and at the end of the day, in this case I am not a celebrity, I am a man with a van.”
Martin was showered with praise by his followers and fans for his remarkable effort.
Fellow TV presenter Lucy Alexander wrote: “Good luck matey
”.
Another follower added: “Stay safe, you are just wonderful look after yourself
.”
“take care amazing what your doing
” weighed in a third, echoing the majority of those in his feed.
Last week, Martin went viral after he was allegedly only allowed to buy two bottles of Calpol and took to Instagram to share a video expressing his frustration.
Alongside the two minute clip, Martin wrote: “I wonder if Costco had some collection bins that people could just put donations in it would avoid this situation.
In the video filmed in a car park near the big-box retail store, Martin became emotional after explaining how other shoppers came to his aid.
He said: “So listen, like you, I’m properly just really at a loss in terms of what I can do to help with what’s going on in Ukraine.
“So I’ve come to Costco and I’ve just been buying lots of things like Pampers, kids stuff, Tampax and other bits and pieces.
“You know, things for kids because it’s the kids, you know, they’re everything,’ as he showed his followers a view of his shopping trolley and the things he had bought.”
Holding up the Calpol bottles, Martin continued: “So I’ve been trying to buy some Calpol and I’m only allowed to buy two, right?
“And I know there’s some sort of sicko limit or some limit that they’ve put on that stops under normal circumstances people buying lots of Calpol.”
He then explained: “So some people in the queue behind me and some people in the queue at the side of me both bought four bottles for me so I managed to get more.
“And I offered them the money, it was about ten quid for four, and they wouldn’t take it.
“So there are such good people out there and everybody’s trying to do their bit and if you just give them a route to do it.”
