Saturday night was all about Harry Styles, who scooped up all three major awards: Best Album, Best Artist, and Best Song, as well as Best Pop/RnB Act as decided by fans on TikTok.

Wet Leg, the female duo from the Isle of Wight who have become a cult favourite since releasing their debut album last year, also emerged victorious, winning Best Group and Best New Artist.

Britain's biggest music awards were held on a Saturday night for the first time in its 41-year history, with comedian Mo Gilligan hosting performances from Harry Styles, Lewis Capaldi, Stormzy and Lizzo at London's O2 Arena.

This year was the second year of the awards ditching male and female categories in favour of a single Artist of the Year, which led to an outcry when no women were nominated in said category last month.

Here is the full list of nominees and winners (winners in bold).
