OVERNIGHT, THE CELEBRITY-PACKED Teen Choice Awards took place in the States, which saw the regular clatter of A-listers descend on stage to collect their awards.
But it was the inspirational acceptance speech of Ellen DeGeneres – who won the award for best comedian – that has everyone talking this morning. She started off on a light note:
