A radio presenter from Leicester is up there with the likes of Dermot O'Leary, Danny Baker and Steve Lamacq after winning one of the biggest awards in the industry.
Amy Voce, from the Sam and Amy Breakfast Show, on East Midlands station Gem 106, was a gold winner at this year's Sony Radio Academy Awards, held in London on Monday night.
The show, which she has worked on with co-presenter Sam Pinkham for seven years, was named the winner in the best breakfast show with under 10 million listeners category.
Amy, 30, who lives in the Clarendon Park area of Leicester, said she was overwhelmed when their names were read out.
"It was one of the most surreal nights of my entire life," she said. "When it came to our award, they read out the bronze and silver winners and I just thought, 'Okay, it's not us.'
"But then the judges started talking about the winning show, saying the presenters had great on-air chemistry and that it was a good family show. Then they just said it was Sam and Amy and my legs literally went to jelly.
"All the people there are the biggest names in the industry, and we had to get up on stage in front of them and give a speech.
"I ended up just thanking everyone who was there with us, and my mum as well."
After the awards, the pair were taken backstage for official photos - and got to meet some of the industry's most famous faces.
"When I first walked in, I walked past Jarvis Cocker, and it was just full of so many big names," said Amy. "Afterwards, we went backstage and I was still in shock.
"This guy came up to me and started giving me advice, and I suddenly realised it was Sir Chris Hoy. It was one of those moments I'll remember for the rest of my life.
"After that, we had loads of people coming up to us - people we really admire - to congratulate us.
"I spoke to Chris Evans and had a chat with Greg James, from Radio 1. He was a really nice guy.
"I spoke to Dermot as well and he was lovely. A photographer mistook me for his wife, which was funny.
"It was just an incredible night. Most importantly, I'm just delighted for the show and the team."
The judges praised Amy and Sam, saying they achieved "a rare on-air chemistry that is warm, genuine and honest."
Mike Newman, the show's programme director, said: "Winning a Sony Gold is the absolute pinnacle of achievement in the radio industry. To be recognised as having the best breakfast show in the country is a wonderful achievement for Gem 106 and Sam and Amy."
The awards were presented by Chris Evans, who won the bronze prize in the best breakfast show with 10 million-plus listeners category.
Other winners included The Dermot O'Leary show, for best music programme, The Danny Baker Show, for best entertainment programme, and 5 live Olympics with Peter Allen and Colin Murray, for best sports programme.
Radio legend Steve Lamacq was given the ceremony's 'Special Award.'
Robbie Williams, The Saturdays and Jamie Cullum all performed at the event, which was held at London's Grosvenor House.
