What a night it has been.
Today’s TikTok Awards UK and Ireland brought us high energy, jaw-dropping looks and just the right amount of chaos.
Over the last few hours, we saw creators with platforms ranging from a few thousand to millions get their flowers.
They started with a ring light and a dream and are now household names on For You pages across the country – and the world.
The carpet has more than doubled in length since last year, our culture reporter Yasmin Rufo tells me, which is testament to how TikTok in the UK and Ireland is ever growing
Along with witnessing those 12 wins – which crowned fashionistas, foodies and funny comedians – we got to speak to the people who have kept us scrolling.
With the ceremony over, it’s now time for attendees to enjoy the afterparty.
Signing off from the venue — where my ears are still ringing, and my feet are indefinitely broken. See you next year!
