Sadiq Khan left his Tory opponent Susan Hall “hanging” on stage, after she tried to congratulate him on his re-election by shaking his hand.

Ms Hall, who lost out to the Labour mayor by over 275,000 votes, extended her arm after it was formally confirmed that he had defeated her.

But Mr Khan did not seem to see her at first, as he stared ahead at the crowd of journalists and party campaigners who had come to watch the result declaration.

The Conservative candidate appeared to twice tell him “well done”, before he turned and shook her hand.
