The ride home after this year’s Star Awards must have been an awesome one for husband and wife Nick Teo, 36, and Hong Ling, 31, who each walked home with a Top 10 Most Popular Artiste award. While it’s Hong Ling’s fifth win in the category, it’s Teo’s first Star Awards trophy after 14 years in showbiz.
When 8days.sg spoke to Teo backstage post-win, he said he had only just processed the moment because “everything felt like a blur”.
“From the moment they said my name, I really didn’t know what I was doing but I was just very shocked and happy,” he gushed. “When I finally settled [my emotions], I thought: ‘Wah so that’s the feeling of standing on stage lah, after so long’.”
