After the third one it is all a bit of a blur, as we went on to the stage to collect them, we were so excited to have won.’

Dr Sutton added: "It’s really a testament to the dedication and hard work of our amazing team that we managed to win every single category in which we were entered.

The night was a glamorous and exciting affair and when I heard my name called as the winner, I was completely shocked because the nominations were extremely stiff competition.”
