Bryn: 'MOBO nod proves bullies wrong'
Bryn Christopher has revealed that his MOBO nomination for best UK newcomer proves that school bullies were wrong to mock his career ambitions.

The R&B singer told the Daily Star: "When I was at secondary school, I went through a phase where I wasn't fitting in at all. The other kids just didn't understand why I wanted to be a singer.

"So they would keep asking me daft questions, like whether I did ballet as well. It was a tough time - but everybody has to go through some form of bullying."

Run D.M.C.'s Rev Run and Spice Girl Mel B will host this year's MOBO Awards from Wembley Arena on October 15.
