Model-turned-TV chatshow host Tyra Banks dedicated her Daytime Emmy Award to talk show "Queen" Oprah Winfrey - hailing the TV powerhouse as her "inspiration".

Banks scooped the gong for Outstanding Talk Show in the Informative category, beating off stiff competition from A Place Of Our Own and Winfrey's protege Dr. Phil.

And when she was presented with her award, Banks was full of praise for the veteran presenter.

She says, "I want to thank Oprah Winfrey for her inspiration. She is the queen. She will always be the queen."
