Calvin Harris hinted at his split from Taylor Swift as he picked up his GQ Award.

The Scottish DJ, who split from the pop star back in May, told the crowd at Tate Modern that he’d ‘been through a lot’ this year.

Just moments after it was revealed that his ex had ended her new romance with Tom Hiddleston, Harris told the crowd:

“I'd like to dedicate this to my manager Mark Gillespie for being a fantastic man. We've been through a lot and discovered a lot this year on Tuesday night.

“I feel at 32 I'm nearing the end. Just kidding.”

“This week ten years ago was when I left Marks and Spencer Simply food in Clapham South where I carried out such tasks as date-rotating sandwiches and moving the salmon."

Harris, who was named the world’s most successful DJ this year, was presented with the Patron Solo Artist Of The Year Award by friend Ellie Goulding on Tuesday night.

Others winners on the night included Poldark’s Aidan Turner who was named Best Television Actor and Sir Michael Caine who picked up the Legend Award.

Bella Hadid was on hand to collect the trophy for Model of the Year, while Billy Connolly was given the Inspiration Award.

Team GB were named Best Team for their sterling effort in the Rio Olympics while Amy Schumer was named Best Woman.

Swift and Hiddleston have gone their separate ways after just three months of dating, having gone public just weeks after the end of her romance with Harris.
