She has just completed her second stint hosting BBC Scotland’s hugely popular Hogmanay show.
And it seems that the milestone moment for TV and radio star Amy Irons was decades in the making.
Fresh from seeing in The Bells, Ms Irons, 34, posted a video online showing her putting on her own childhood Hogmanay show in front of the TV.
It shows the young Amy, microphone in hand, performing for her family.
Alongside it, Ms Irons wrote: ‘The Hogmanay show I used to present.’
The clip then cuts to footage of her hosting the BBC programme with a message saying: ‘The Hogmanay show I now present.’

A staple of Scottish viewing for decades, the show was hosted for 20 years by Jackie Bird.
Ms Irons has said: ‘I have so many memories of watching Jackie Bird on the screen during Hogmanay.’
Ms Bird, 63, last brought in the Bells in 2019 before comedian Susan Calman had a two-year stint as host, with DJ Edith Bowman then taking over.
Ms Irons normally presents Reporting Scotland: News at Seven.
The daughter of former footballer Davie Irons, she is dating fireman Fraser Curran, 35.
