Olly pulled a surprised and horrified expression as he ruffled his hands through his short hair.
"Omg I really hope ur just kidding," one fan replied, while a second posted: "Please tell me this is a joke." A third called Olly out, writing: "Don't believe you lol! You do know it's not April 1st right lol!!! I've screenshot and zoomed in and it's just wet and combed over back!!! You'd never do that just as you're about to record a TV special."

Unfortunately, Harry wasn't around to meet Olly at the event, but his father the Prince of Wales was a special guest. Charles gave an amusing speech while picking up the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award from the glossy magazine, admitting he thought he'd been awarded a fashion prize initially! "When I was first told of GQ magazine's wish to give me a Man Of The Year award I felt sure it must have been some kind of mistake," he said. "I thought it must be some sort of ill-deserved fashion award. Particularly as in fashion terms I'm like a stopped clock. In other words I'm fashionable once every 25 years."
