The look between the two - the adoration and respect - spoke volumes of the gratitude they have for each other.
Theirs really is a friendship like no other.
And the challenge was all for Rob’s plight against MND.
Sir Kev - as he is affectionately known by fans - has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds already in his latest effort.
Everybody needs and deserves a friend by their side at the darkest of times like Sir Kev.
Surely now it’s time to make him Sir Kev for real.
