		</div><p>Grime star Stormzy expressed his excitement at taking a selfie with Boyzone singer Ronan Keating as he collected a gong at the GQ Men of the Year Awards.</p>
<p>The Mercury-nominated rapper was named Copper Dog solo artist of the year at the star-studded ceremony but his biggest thrill seemed to come from meeting an idol. After admitting to being “a little bit drunk”, he told the crowd at the Tate Modern: “It’s such a blessing to be here. In a room full of so many legends, I got a selfie with Ronan Keating, are you mad?”</p>

<p>He also shouted out the Labour leader, saying “Big up Jeremy Corbyn”, after the politician presented him with the gong. Corbyn said: “He is an artist who single-handedly ushered in a new era in British music.</p>
<p>“This last year we’ve seen dramatic political events all across the world. Against this backdrop we’ve seen the emergence of an incredible and very powerful artist.</p>
<p>“He’s one of London’s most inspiring young men, encouraging his listeners to vote, pray and speak openly about mental health and their issues and problems.</p>
<p>“Whether it’s speaking out against racism, supporting the victims of Grenfell, he’s remained absolutely committed to his roots and values throughout.”</p>

<p>Keating was not the only star Stormzy was excited to meet at the ceremony. He was heard expressing his hope to take a photo with Game Of Thrones star Natalie Dormer and was spotted posing for a snap with Liam Gallagher. Gallagher, who was presented with the rock ‘n’ roll star award at the ceremony, was also delighted to meet Keating.</p>
<p>When he collected his prize, he said: “A lot of people have got a lot to say these days and obviously I have but not tonight because I’ve drunk a little bit too much champagne. As Stormzy said, you’ve got a selfie with Ronan Keating, I got a handshake off him.”</p>
