It may have been a little cooler outside but things were hotting up at BBC Radio Leicester earlier this evening when the Finalists in the Leicestershire Curry Awards were announced.
In typical fashion our Sponsors, plus our Charity and Media Partners were invited along with a handful of guests to attend the event where they enjoyed a variety of food and drink before the announcement was made live on air. As you’d expect, there were big smiles and congratulatory handshakes all around.
