Thanks for joining us for 2015's Brit Awards - it's all over for another year! A good night for Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran, who both took two awards during a fairly average ceremony.

We're already looking forward to photos of the multiple after-parties - but whatever happens, it will have to be something pretty special to get everyone talking about anything other than Madonna.

We were totally consumed with shock at Madonna's fall, we missed most of her performance of Living For Love. We hope she's not hurt!

Stop the press! It sounds like she's ok. She just posted a picture of her cape on her Instagram account referring to her extremely apt song lyrics: "Armani hooked me up! My beautiful cape was tied too tight! But nothing can stop me and love really lifted me up! Thanks for your good wishes! I'm fine!"

Phew!

• Sanjay Sood-Smith, external: "I think Madonna may well have just broken the internet by falling backwards down some stairs on the Brits, sorry Kim Kardashian."

• Dan Deacon, external: "Can someone tell me @Madonna is ok ? Was this one of those Brits meets Casualty hybrid programmes????"

Ed Sheeran seemed pretty bowled over by who presented his award, saying "Russell Crowe everyone! Sick!" as he got on stage.

He told the crowd his album "took a long time to make and I didn't expect this".

"It's been a very good year for British music and I think it's a night to celebrate the whole thing."

"It's nice to meet you," he directed at Russell as he left the stage.
