As a nation that lies somewhere between Mongolian goat herders and manatees in terms of global attractiveness, it's hardly surprising that we have such a love for radio. Which is probably why the Sony Radio Academy Awards had more British celebrities than you could point a stick at.

We'd mention them all, but there's too many, so we'll just give you a few highlights...

 

Geri Halliwell is now almost unrecogniseable.

Dr Fox still has a face you just want to punch.

Chipmunk. Is there anything he won't turn up to?

We've now run out of jokes about Vanessa Feltz. She's plump, by the way.

Tim Westood.

 

In terms of the actual awards:

 

Chris Moyles gets nothing. Again. Ho ho.

Ronnie Wood beats Jarvis Cocker and Chris Moyles to Radio Personality of the Year.

BBC Radio Derby winning on of the Station of the Year awards. Who would've guessed?

Chris Moyles lost.
