Overview
- Stephen Graham, who won Best Performance in TV/Film on Thursday at the MOBO Awards in Manchester, dedicated the honor to his stepfather, Mike Fazakerley.
- He attended with close family in a rare public outing for Fazakerley and half-brother Nathan, alongside his children Alfie and Gracie.
- In his speech, Graham thanked fellow nominees and supporters before calling Fazakerley “my pops” and closing with “God bless, namaste.”
- He has previously said Fazakerley helped him understand his mixed-race background, a point he made on BBC Desert Island Discs in 2019.
- Coverage framed the moment through different lenses, with the Mirror centering the on-stage dedication, the Daily Mail adding family history and a reported streaming stat, and the Liverpool Echo noting recent Broadcasting Press Guild wins for Adolescence.
