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.<\/p>\n

When 8days.sg spoke to Teo backstage post-win, he said he had only just processed the moment because “everything felt like a blur”.<\/p>\n

“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’.”<\/p>\n

Nick Teo said it’s a moment he has been looking forward to for a while, but he didn’t expect it to happen this year.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for him, the celebrations will have to wait as he has to return to Malaysia for filming.<\/p>\n

He also can\u2019t indulge just yet, as he needs to stay in shape for his role as a fighter in the upcoming Mediacorp drama In His Hands.<\/p>\n

“Maybe just buy a tub of ice cream to reward myself. Cookies and Cream ice cream,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
