Did anyone else see Hamilton shepherd Billy monger's mum forwards on the stage at BBC SPOTY in order to try to remind Billy/The BBC that they needed to allow time to thank his parents? What a thoughtful thing to do.
Didn’t notice that. Did notice his reference to the ‘slums’, though.

Stevenage must be pleased........... wink

He knew he would be making a speech so you would think he would have discussed it with someone beforehand. Strange

Maybe he did and they said, "the only people who are going to pick up on it are people who have already made their minds up that they don't like you"?

The verb for this sort of behaviour is Stevenage.

Guy is a first class prick in all honesty

Turns up for an awards show looking like some sort of rapper, than disses the place he lived for years.

I have lived there too and it is one of the friendliest, honest and actually very well equipped for those without money towns around.

It has its bad points, obviously its a crumbling 60's new town.

But there are some things about it that are superb, lots of green areas, fabulous walkways with no paths, the industry is totally separate from the housing, meaning traffic works fine.

This creepy little man needs to show a little more respect, for a lot of things.
He did correct himself , although you may have missed that as you were busy being offended.
I've never been to Stevenage, although I knew someone at Uni who was brought up there and he reckoned it was a sthole. Still cool story bro and all that.

Lewis should have stuck by his words.

Put yourself in his shoes as a black lad, sofa surfing in his dads council house....can’t have been easy, no wonder he wanted to work his butt off to leave the place...I would

Left face it, Stevenage is a st hole

It has its bad points, obviously its a crumbling 60's new town. (Aka sthole aka slum)

But there are some things about it that are superb, BLAH BLAH BLAH (Not in the 80s/ 90s when Lewis was a lad)

This creepy little man needs to show a little more respect, for a lot of things. (Please elaborate on what things)

I thought his reference to "slums" was a mistake.

II also thought he should have used "person" instead of "man"

What rapper? Looks more like he's come from the set of Strictly to me, but nice low-key racism.

He obviously says it a lot, probably to impress foreign hangers-on, you don't just say such a thing by mistake, especially at such a big event. "I grew up in a slum and now live in Monaco" sounds a bit better than "I grew up in Stevenage which was OK but we didn't have any money. Speaking of money, I save a stload of tax by living in Monaco, you should live there the people are so nice!"

he showed up wearing what he wanted to wear, but it was noticeably different from convention and/or what I would choose to wear myself. so now I think he's a tt because if there's one thing I can't stand, it's people harmlessly behaving in the way they want to, especially if it's different from what I want to do.

I recall him doing a similar thing when he attended Wimbledon. Oh, hang on, he didn't actually attend Wimbledon.

yes That pretty much sums it up. "How dare he be talented, rich and famous and not do exactly what I'd do if I was talented, rich and famous!".

It is comments like this that really keep knocking back any sort of like for him.

Came from a ‘slum’.

If anything it shows such ignorance of what real poverty is.

Here we have Stevenage town centre...
