TV Award sponsored by MGF.

Donal MacIntyre was presented with the TV Personality Award and he expressed his delight at the recognition for his work.

The Dublin-born journalist has changed the face of investigative journalism - often putting his own safety at risk.

He has become a household name throughout Britain for his sterling work at exposing the dangerous underbelly of society.

From football hooligans to braving the frontline of war zones he has done it all.

His fame has meant it is harder to go undercover himself - but not to be deterred he instead employed his brother when he embarked on a mission to expose care homes and some of their practices.

He is a man who has pushed the boundaries of journalism in search of the truth - a fact warmly appreciated by the audience on the night.
