A daunting prospect for most of us, we reckon - but not for Rothesay girl Jenna Speirs, who proved herself a TV natural on Saturday when she accepted a Rotary Young Citizen of the Year award in a ceremony broadcast live on BBC News 24.

Jenna was one of ten people to receive an award from BBC Newsround presenter Laura Jones at the annual conference of Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool, in recognition of her tireless fund raising efforts for the Calum's Cabin appeal, set up in memory of her twin brother Calum, who died in February 2007 after a year-long fight against a brain tumour.

But despite her brush with TV fame, Jenna was in typically modest mood - and not at all fazed by having her school holiday lie-in ruined! - when we caught up with her on Tuesday morning to find out what the whole experience had been like.

"It was really good," she told us of the trip. "I was the first one to go on to the stage, but Laura told me to keep looking at her during the interview so I didn't really notice the camera.

"I said that in one way I wished I wasn't getting the award if it meant Calum would be here."

Jenna and another nominee, Gillian Ferguson from Dundee, wasted no time after the cameras had stopped rolling - they quickly found a station at the doors of the auditorium to hand out cards telling the audience more about the Calum's Cabin appeal in a bid to spread the word far beyond Blackpool and Bute.

In addition to a lovely cut glass trophy to mark her achievement, Jenna was also presented with a certificate and a cash donation of £500 for the Calum's Cabin appeal.

Jenna was nominated for the Rotary Young Citizen Awards by the Rotary Club of Rothesay, and local Rotarian Douglas Graham accompanied Jenna and her parents Caroline and Duncan to the glittering ceremony
