Matt said: “I went into the night not expecting anything. 

I was just looking forward to having a nice evening with a great group of people from Shock Radio.”

Matt also took home a second gold award for ‘Best Chart Show Programming,’ shared with his co-presenter Issy Brand.

He continued: “I still can’t believe I get to say I’ll be on Radio 1 for the presenter takeover.”
