Veteran rocker Ronnie Wood has collected two awards for his work on Absolute radio.

The guitarist-turned-broadcaster collected the specialist programme of the year award for his Radio show and his weekly guest slot was named best feature at the Arqiva Commercial Radio Awards.

The awards also saw Absolute take the station of the year title.

XFM's Danny Wallace was named presenter of the year, while Classic FM - the country's biggest national commercial station - picked up the gold award as it celebrated its 20th year on air with judges praising its "creativity" and "innovation".
