Stormzy shares delight after receiving first ever Greggs Concierge 'Black Card'

Stormzy is the first person in the UK to be handed a Greggs' Concierge "Black Card".

The grime star tweeted his joy at receiving the card, which arrived with a video message congratulating him on his achievements - including his six Mobo awards, three Brit Awards and scoring first number one single of the decade with Own It.

In his tweet, the Londoner wrote to the Newcastle-based bakers: "Are you mad the first  Greggs black card @GreggsOfficial

"I have peaked this is brilliant."

'Black Cards' were first popularised by Nando's. The chicken chain offers them to celebrities and influencers - letting them order free chicken at any Nando's in the country for them and up to four friends.

And people are seriously excited at the prospect of Greggs now offering them too.

Jack Mull replied to Stormzy's Tweet: "I need unlimited sausage, bean and cheese melts in my life."

Greggs' card appears slightly different to Nando's, offering a 'concierge' service that will deliver food to Stormzy at his request - no matter where he is in the UK or what time it is.

A message inside the box reads: “Get those big size twelves on your feet. We’ll do the rest.”

Greggs is staying tight lipped about the new service - although the video says Stormzy now has the option to order whatever he wants, whenever he wants.

But no amount of Steak Bakes or Vegan Sausage Rolls can buy you membership to the club – as Greggs confirmed to the Mirror it’s strictly invite-only.

A Greggs spokeswoman said: “Our Concierge card is strictly by invite only to some of our biggest fans. That’s all we can say.”

We don't know who else will be getting the Gregg's Concierge card, but if it works anything like the Nando's High Five card (pictured above) we do know that it's pretty exclusive.

David Beckham, Ricky Gervais, JLS , Pixie Lott and Oprah Winfrey are all rumoured to hold a Nando's Black Card.

But no matter how famous you are, you can also end up on the Black Card blacklist really rather easily.

"No-one who’s requested a card, no matter how politely, has ever received one. Asking for one is simply the biggest taboo – a definite no no," Nando's revealed.
