Last night, Waleed Aly accepted his first Gold Logie with a speech that thanked his co-hosts, crew on The Project, and his wife Susan Carland, before turning his attention to a man in the room named Mustafa.
The thing is, most people there wouldn’t even recognise him by that name.
Congratulations Waleed on the gold Logie well deserved! The press is hunting down Mustafa, send help lol @theprojecttv #TVWEEKLogies

De Nawi was outed care of his acting manager Anthony Kidd, who told news.com.au the name change was just “something Tyler felt he needed to do.”
The former Play School host – what is it with kids show’s leading the way, here? – said “things are clearly changing, but they are changing glacially slowly.”
Maybe we’ll be seeing a few more Mustafas in the future, then.
Oh, we were also on deck at the Logies Red Carpet, and we had a sneaky chat with the bloke before he went on to take the top gong. Have a gander right here:
