The one particular person Tom actually does wish to meet is Lizzo, who together with Types is acting at Saturday night time’s ceremony: ‘Lizzo is the particular person I wish to meet – I believe me and Lizzo would hit it off. I want a little bit of that vitality man.’

And while I used to be planning find out how to let her down gently she rang me and went ‘By the way in which…’
