And the winner is...er it's not!
Over the years I have done my fair share of MC'ing awards shows around Scotland. I am always pretty thorough about going through the script in advance and like to get properly briefed on every aspect of the evening. Despite that I have been left with egg on my face a few times.
Which is why I can hardly bear to watch on the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ news website where the welsh culture minister Rhodri Glyn Thomas announces the wrong winner of the Welsh Book of the Year.
It's buttock clenchingly awful and from now on I'll be checking with the organisers what I can expect when I open the envelope with the winner's name in it.
