Children鈥檚 黑料吃瓜群网 Foundation Family Liaison Manager Angie Brooks is the latest recipient of the Juiced TV Super Hero Awards.

鈥淲e met Angie when we were filming with Juiced TV over three years ago. She came and introduced herself to us,鈥� Abbi said.

鈥淭hank you for considering me 鈥� Keep doing what you鈥檙e doing. I really look forward to seeing Josh take on all the opportunities that his mum has worked towards for him and I can鈥檛 wait to see how far he goes.鈥�
