Instead, he thanks Deborah and says he has “a big warm hug” for her.
Last May’s 5 Live clip — shortly before Deborah’s death in June — won the public-voted Radio Times Moment of the Year.
Dame Deborah’s Radio 5 three-way podcast You, Me and the Big C, won the Impact Award. The show with fellow cancer patients Lauren Mahon and Rachael Bland deals with myths about the disease.
Clips involving Dame Deborah, 40, whose Bowelbabe Fund for Cancer Research UK has raised £11.3million, were among winners at the Audio and Radio Industry Awards.
