Andrew Scott’s role as the Hot Priest in Fleabag was named Standout Performance of 2019 at the GQ Men of the Year Awards.

Fleabag herself, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, presented him with the award. Waller-Bridge praised Scott’s Fleabag performance as “a combustion of charisma, grace, nuance and complexity… culminating in a 162 per cent rise in religious pornography watched in the U.K.” Rory Stewart may have lost his bid to lead the Tory party but there was a consolation prize of sorts – he is GQ’s Politician of the Year. Greta Thunberg, the teen climate change activist, won the Game Changer award.

Other winners included Kylie Minogue (Icon), Sir Ian McKellen (Legend), and David Beckham, who received the Editor’s Special. Actor and actress awards went to Nicole Kidman and Taron Egerton, while Richard Madden was named Most Stylish Man. The annual awards were held in Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall.
