DARREN Proctor, BEN columnist and Key 103 presenter Darren Proctor won a prestigious prize at the Radio 'Oscars' -- but still managed to return home empty-handed.

Darren, who presents the Smash Hits show every Sunday, won a gold award at the Sony Awards ceremony in the best music programme category.

But as he was surrounded by well-wishers on Monday night, the award vanished from his table.

He said: "I am gutted at losing the award."
