"This is surreal," says Saul Milton of the duo. "We never thought we'd be up here."

He thanks their fans, both of their wives and mums who are all attending the awards tonight as well as their agent and management.

Will Kennard tells the audience he is "proud to represent British music" and "mostly to represent drum and bass music".

As we already knew before the ceremony, the award for Producer of the Year has gone to drum and bass duo Chase & Status.

Up on the stage again - but this time to sing instead of to pick up another award - Raye is performing a medley of her songs.

She starts with Ice Cream Man. from her album My 21st Century Blues. The tear-jerker is fit with lyrics, like "I'm a woman, a very... strong woman", which we think appropriately captures the energy of an awards ceremony where over half the nominees are women.

She moves onto TikTok hit song Prada, moving away from her piano and as the momentum of the performance builds up she sings Escapism - the track that won her Best Song of the Year earlier - with an epic band accompanying her.

boygenius may not be household names but they are critically acclaimedpublished at 21:57 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March

boygenius just won international group of the year. They’re not exactly household names, but the indie-rock supergroup - made up of Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julian Baker - made one of last year’s most critically acclaimed albums. Called The Record, it views the melodic, close harmony sounds of Californian rock through a queer, feminist lens.

Songs like Not Strong Enough and Cool About It are quietly devastating at the same time as being massive, arena-filling singalongs. When they headlined their own mini-festival in London’s Gunnersbury Park last summer, they had to stop the show half a dozen times as people in the audience passed out (from a combination of heat and fluttering hearts).

After winning multiple Grammys last month, it looks like they might go on hiatus to pursue their solo careers again. But if they keep going, the world is their oyster.

Also sending in a video message, the band members of boygenius thank their label, shaking the award at the camera and smiling.

The US indie supergroup consists of Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus.

So Raye has got three awards so far plus the Best Songwriter Award, which we already know she won, so she is tied for most amount of Brit awards ever.

She jointly holds it with Blur (1995), Adele (2016) and Harry Styles (2023).

Perhaps so! Her victory in the Best Pop category comes in a relatively quiet year - she only released the Barbie song Dance The Night and her psychedelic pop single Houdini during the eligibility period.

But the British-Kosovan star is undoubtedly the UK’s biggest pop export right now - and with her third album on the way, she’s likely to be back big time at next year’s ceremony.

Receiving a standing ovation, Dua Lipa skips onto the stage, saying her fans are the "reason she's standing here today" and thanks "each and every one".

"You guys give me this radical sense of confidence that I can do anything and that I can try and experiment."

She ends by thanking a whole list of people, including her producer, music team, the team at Warner Records and her "incredible" band and dancers.

CasIsDead still considered a mysterious figurepublished at 21:40 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March

CasIsDead has been on the music scene for quite a while, releasing his first track nearly 20 years ago, but is still considered a mysterious figure.

From Tottenham in London, he is of Ghanaian and English descent. In previous years he has hidden his face behind a balaclava and then a variety of masks. He is also said to rarely give interviews to the press.

My eardrums are ringing after hearing the cheers when CasIsDead was announced as Best Rap and Grime winner. He thanked his fans, saying “without you lot none of this would have happened”.

CasIsDead takes the stage, saying this is "well funny". He says there are too many people involved to thank everyone so he will thank each person "privately" later.

He adds that he is especially grateful to his fans.
