Grime star Skepta won the 2016 Mercury Prize last night for his album "Konnichiwa".

Chatting to the BBC about his momentous win, he said: "I'm just so thankful. I've been trying to do this music stuff and work it out for so long."

When asked what he planned to do with his £25,000 prize money, Skepta added that he wants to use it in a way that will give back to people with similar dreams to the ones he was driven by:

"Something positive, something to help other people feel as happy and as free as me. We're doing a project right now, actually, building a studio in my old estate to help the young kids do music."
