Our unsung heroes just leave me STARSTRUCK

TV's Amy says Pride of Scotland nominees will outshine A-listers

- BY HEATHER GREENAWAY

BBC presenter Amy Irons has interviewed world-class actors, footballers and musicians but admits it's the unsung heroes at our Pride of Scotland Awards who leave her starstruck.

The News at Seven anchor said every year our inspirational winners blow her away and their stories have her reaching for the tissues.

Amy, 34, who has stocked up on waterproof mascara for next week's glittering ceremony, said: "Every time I go to the Pride of Scotland Awards, I end up crying the whole way through.

"Seeing people who are so deserving of recognition and don't realise it themselves is totally humbling and although their stories leave me a blubbering wreck, they also uplift my soul.
