I Am!.
Meanwhile, the public-voted audience award went to Foxx’s devilishly-inspired Villain, designed and photographed by Jiksaw.
The rest of the top ten was: Samantha Day: The Booby Trap; Lindsey Santoro: Pink Tinge; Kirsty Mann: Skeletons; BeComedyUK: No Limits; Harriet Dyer: Mother; Wage Against The Machine; Bennett Arron: Loser; Dusk: A Bite-Size Love Story; and The Prince Andrew Tate Appreciation Hour.
