Check out some of the stars of last night’s show

From David Walliams and HRVY through to industry execs partying in their session rooms, we give you a pictorial flavour of The Licensing Awards.

While the stars of the show at last night’s Licensing Awards were undoubtedly all the finalists and the winners, the gathered virtual audience was also treated to surprise guest appearances from some famous faces.

David Walliams popped in to thank everyone for the nomination for his The World of David Walliams brand, while also thanking Max Publishing’s Ian Hyder and Jakki Brown for some inspiration.

Twinkled toed pop star HRVY took time out from his preparations for this Saturday’s Strictly Come Dancing final to wish the finalists all the best, while Jim from Friday Night Dinner brought his own unique voice to the proceedings.

Before and after the awards presentation, industry execs took the chance to catch up with their colleagues, friends and peers in the Session Rooms. And bumppr was on hand to take some snaps.

You can check out some of the night’s fun in the mini gallery below:
