[quote]Addressing the audience, Mr Osborne said: 'I’m not sure who actually reads the politics pages of GQ magazine though, Dylan – I suspect they are the only pages of the magazine that a teenage boy hasn’t stuck together in reading the magazine.
'Some might say that’s because the w****** are on the page rather than reading them. Thank you very much for the award.'
Ceremony host David Mitchell added: 'I think that's lowered the tone. I'm sorry ladies and gentlemen.'
However, Mr Osborne did receive chuckles when he explained he had just come from meeting with bankers saying: ‘I just spoke to 300 bankers. It says something that I was still the most unpopular person in the room.’
Minutes earlier Mr Robinson introduced Mr Osborne saying: 'The politician of the year is a man whose aides I rang before presenting this award and said "given the grim economic news, how does he sleep at night?" The answer came, "like a baby - he wakes up in the middle of the night, screaming".'
Later, comedian Stephen Fry said: 'I'm sure you have marvellous writers on GQ. I've never read it.
'Like the Chancellor of the Exchequer I masturbate over the male models.... 'pages stuck together'?...
'Are you aware, Mr Osborne that it is all male models? Are you thinking of Maxim?'
Political columnist Matthew D'Ancona said of Mr Osborne: 'Osborne is like Atlas carrying the coalition's weight on his shoulders. He remains its most important strategist, the lieutenant to whom the PM listens most closely and the man who must save the country from economic perdition.'
Mr Osborne's foul-mouthed outburst prompted surprise from some Twitter users. The Conservative politician took to the stage to Alloe Blacc’s song I Need A Dollar.
And, earlier in the evening he was spotted asking for rapper Tinie Tempha's autograph for his son and daughter.
Mr Osborne was joined by a host of other stars on the red carpet for the awards including singer Pixie Lott, Harry Potter star Emma Watson, who went for rock chic with a leather biker jacket and model Kelly Brook.[/quote]

'It is a pleasure to win this award. I’ve just come from addressing about 300 bankers in the City of London and it says something about my profession that I was still the most unpopular person in the room.
'It is a fine recognition. Of course, we pay close attention to what Nick [Robinson] brilliantly reports on the 10 o’clock news, and what’s written in the pages of the Financial Times.
