The winners of this year’s YOU Spectacular awards were revealed at a glittering ceremony tonight (Saturday 13 June) at Emperors Palace in Johannesburg.
Quirky comedian Anne Hirsch brought her unique style to the proceedings once again as host of the show, which took the format of a spin-the-wheel game show.
Stunning model Lee-Ann Liebenberg, who was also a guest presenter, once again nabbed the award for Sexiest Woman, making it a record sixth win for her in this category.
Top Billing presenter Jonathan Boynton-Lee walked away with the award for Sexiest Man and also came out tops in the Favourite TV Presenter category. The show included a tribute to last year’s Favourite TV Presenter winner, the late Simba Mhere, by his close friend, Jonathan, and his sister, Val Mhere.
Actor, TV presenter and model Maps Maponyane won the award for Most Stylish Male Celeb, while actress and TV presenter Minnie Dlamini triumphed in the Most Stylish Female Celeb category.
Fabulous musical performances included a cover of Hallelujah by Louise Carver, Sannie Fox and ChianoSky and a doowop medley by girl group Shoowop Shop, made up of Tamara Dey, Melissa Allison and Mariechan Luiters.
Spoek Mathambo’s Fantasma wowed the crowd with their Afro/hip hop fusion sound when they performed Eye of the Sun and The Judge. And Swing City trio Loyiso Bala, Graeme Watkins and Nathan Ro closed the show with their rendition of Me and My Shadow and a stunning Disney medley.
