Q&A with Stefflon Don

What’s been a highlight of 2017?

There have been so many moments - tonight was definitely a moment. Tonight was definitely a moment. Alan Carr - I love him. He’s the only one I’ve never got starstruck for. My wig nearly came off.

How are you going to top that next year?

Do more. Keep bringing out new tracks. For the majority of the time the songs I like, other people seem to like, so that’s good.

Your live performances are incredible - have you always been that confident onstage?

Kind of! I get a lot of energy from the crowd, like today they were really lit. And then I give extra.
