Winners of the 50th anniversary TRIC Awards were announced at a star- studded ceremony in London last month. The glamorous Awards celebrate the


nation’s favourite TV and radio programmes and personalities. Hundreds of stars filled The Great Room at Grosvenor House on Park Lane to find out who would walk away with a prestigious TRIC gong. Holly Willoughby was named as TV Personality and BBC Radio 1’s Greg James picked up the award for Radio Personality. “Doing the Radio 1 Breakfast Show is the


most fun thing ever,” he said while on stage. “I’ve wanted to do it since I was a little kid. Radio is an amazing thing; it’s brilliant to be part of people’s lives and to let them get you to be part of their routine. It’s really special, so thanks very much.” Despite this, the DJ’s show didn’t win


Best Radio Programme – this went to Capital Breakfast with Roman Kemp. Elsewhere, the cast of Strictly Come


Dancing waltzed their way onto the stage to collect their award for best Reality Programme, A League Of Their Own narrowly beat competition from Gillette Soccer Saturday and Match of the Day to win in the Best Sport Programme category, and Best

Food Programme went to The Great British Bake Off. This year’s contestants Briony, Kim- Joy and Manon picked up the award. The Best Factual Programme award went


to Dynasties and Fiona Bruce was named as Best News Presenter. Meanwhile, there was no surprise in the


Best Crime Programme category, with 2018’s most-talked about show Bodyguard beating Killing Eve and Silent Witness, whilst Soap of the Year went to Emmerdale over Coronation Street, EastEnders and Hollyoaks. However, the Best Soap Actor award went to Danny Dyer, from EastEnders. This year’s TRIC Special Award recipient


was Lorraine Kelly. On stage presenting this award to her, Michael Ball said “it’s a sign of how much she is loved that her show [Lorraine, on ITV] continues to go from strength to strength”. He called her a “broadcasting legend”.


The “British Golden Globes” The Television and Radio Industries Club (TRIC) is celebrating 50 years of the TRIC Awards this year, and as a result the award trophies were gold and not the usual silver. Not to mention, this year’s daytime event was packed from wall-to-wall.
