TV Gossip

Jonathan Ross really is back at the very top of the celebri-tree.

He won the 2009 Music Industry Trusts' Award at a star-studded celebrity bash last night.

It might seem like an odd prize for the TV presenter to win, but it's given "in recognition of services to music broadcasting". Ross's small screen and radio programmes have always featured performances from a variety of artists.

Among those who paid tribute to Ross via video at the event were Tom Jones, U2, Cheryl Cole and Will Smith.

David Munns, chairman of the award committee, said: "His passion for music, enthusiasm for discovering and encouraging musicians and the importance of his two shows for artist development, makes Jonathan Ross a worthy recipient of the 2009 MITs Award."

Previous recipients include Michael Parkinson, George Martin, Elton John, Kylie Minogue and Peter Gabriel.
