5:41Now PlayingA mental health nurse has shocked the literary establishment by bagging one of its biggest prizes with his first book.
Costa Book Award winner Nathan Filer, 33, drew on his background for The Shock of the Fall - a novel about the descent of one of two brothers into schizophrenia after a tragic accident.
Filer, still a registered nurse working in and around Bristol, beat contenders including bookies' favourite Kate Atkinson's Life After Life to the £30,000 prize - formerly known as the Whitbread.
He spoke to Sky's Eamonn Holmes and Jayne Secker.
