DHOTYA 2019 winner revealed after insanely close final The 2019 edition of the Didn\u2019t Happen Of The Year Awards (DHOTYA), an award celebrating the biggest liars on social media, has come to an end following an unbelievably close final showdown. The incredibly popular awards hit their fourth year and were bigger than ever as they dominated Twitter with their hilarious posts that were all in aid of helping children with cancer. Once again, a selection of social media posts that were almost certainly tall tales, were pitted against each other in a fan vote \u2013 with the eventual winner being dubbed as the best \u2018didn\u2019t happen\u2019 of the year. Just over 6 hours until it all kicks off with Group A. A quick, simple recap of the year in #DHOTYA2019 pic.twitter.com\/frys9WaQaB \u2014 Didn\u2019t Happen of the Year Awards (@_DHOTYA) December 27, 2019 This year\u2019s contest featured some incredibly tough competition, with amazing stories like the \u2018\u00a34.40 toastie by George Benson\u2019, \u2018Clapping by Ciara\u2019, and even Chelsea Football Club making an appearance. However, there could only be one winner. Soccer pro Wayne Hennessey went up against a mother and her one-year-old in the grand final. The Crystal Palace goalkeeper claimed that his alleged nazi salute was a misunderstanding, while the latter insisted her son said he would go to work for her while donning her uniform. It came down to the death, but \u201che\u2019s only one\u201d was triumphant \u2013 taking home the Didn\u2019t Happen Of The Year by just 0.4% of the vote, as they claimed 50.4% of the 68,322 votes cast. CONGRATULATIONS! The winner of #DHOTYA2019 is \u201cHe\u2019s Only 1\u201d. 2019 was a tough year with so many great entries, but with a tiniest of margins (50.4%) of the 68,322 votes in the final, you\u2019ve chosen \u201cHe\u2019s Only 1\u201d as the biggest \u201cDidn\u2019t Happen\u201d of the year! pic.twitter.com\/XcUuIWKUkv \u2014 Didn\u2019t Happen of the Year Awards (@_DHOTYA) December 29, 2019 There were eight groups of four teams at the start, so both entries had to defeat quite a few opponents on their way to the finals. Many will be disappointed by Hennessey\u2019s loss as he was the favorite going into the event. However, everyone involved no doubt had a great time seeing some of the ridiculous and hilarious things that people were posting on social media throughout 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
