Radio DJ Adele Roberts has won the public-voted Radio Times moment of the year award for her emotional return to the Radio 1 airwaves following her bowel cancer announcement in October.
The 43-year-old who was diagnosed with bowel cancer last year, picked up the gong at the Audio and Radio Industry Awards (Arias) hosted by TV star Rylan Clark at the Adelphi Theatre in the West End on Tuesday.
Her award came days after she was honoured with the Diva Choice Award at the Awards ceremony inside London’s Waldorf Hilton Hotel. Roberts was called “a trailblazer in broadcasting, bringing lesbian visibility to the heart of Radio 1" at the annual ceremony, which aims to celebrate inspirational lesbian, bisexual, trans, intersex and queer women and non binary people.
