The social historian and broadcaster who has founded the University of Wales Dylan Thomas Prize also commended Catherine Zeta Jones for her involvement in various charities and causes.

He said, “But she is also an active supporter of charities and other causes including the arts and her role as a backer of the Dylan Thomas Prize has been a pivotal one.”

Jones is expected to be accompanied at the event by husband, Michael Douglas who has just recently overcome throat cancer.
