The event was originally due to take place in March last year, and the awards team will now not reschedule this event.

A spokesperson for The Yorkshire Choice Awards said it absolutely support the venue's decision and assured nominees that their achievements will not go unnoticed.

All the 2020 finalists and winners will still be announced over the course of the next few months with information communicated to nominees.

If any 2020 winners still wish to receive their award on stage, they will be invited to attend the 2022 awards ceremony and presented with the award there.
