BBC broadcaster Clive Myrie was presented with a special honour during Wednesday’s 2022 Tric Awards.
The 57-year-old newsreader and GB News’ Eamonn Holmes were among the stars honoured with top gongs at the annual event.
On Thursday 24 February, the day that Russia invaded Ukraine, Myrie presented BBC News at 10, updating viewers on the latest attacks launched under the orders of Vladimir Putin.
At one point in the report, a tear could be seen falling down the news reporter’s cheek, prompting several people on Twitter to share their support for the 57-year-old, with one writing: ‘Seeing Clive Myrie cry on the BBC news will stay with me for some time.’
However, former This Morning presenter Holmes won the prize for news presenter beating his fellow nominees Myrie Stephen Dixon and Victoria Derbyshire.
This comes after a turbulent year for Holmes as it was announced in November that he would be leaving ITV after 15 years of hosting This Morning alongside his wife Ruth Langsford.
It was later revealed that the TV presenter and journalist, 62, would be moving to GB News where he would host the channel’s new Breakfast With Eamonn And Isabel programme.
Strictly Come Dancing also received the best reality show prize after a history-making series last year which saw winner Rose Ayling-Ellis become the first deaf contestant and Bake Off star John Whaite and his partner Johannes Radebe as the first all-male couple.
Hosts Ant and Dec took the TV personality award once again while The Chase won the game show prize.
Line of Duty also picked up the best drama award after airing its sixth and potentially final series last year.
Also among the award winners was Paul O’Grady: For the Love of Dogs for best factual show and Gordon, Gino and Fred: Go Greek. Mamma Mia! beat off the competition for the best food show prize.
