Expressing his delight at the nomination Conleth said: “I’m overwhelmed to be shortlisted for two awards at Ireland’s biggest LGBT Magazine Awards later this month in Belfast.

“I appeared on the cover of this pretty amazing magazine for their PRIDE issue so this is the icing on the cake.

“This year has been been amazing for me and my career, some real corners have been turned, and along the way I’ve been able to draw attention to another passion of mine through my creativity - the equal rights of the LGBT community on my home turf.

“To be recognised for this on such a public platform is a wonderful, heartwarming feeling. I’d be grateful for anyone back home in Lurgan who would find the time to vote for me online. Every vote counts. Thank you in advance.”
