MTV EMAs 2017: Shawn Mendes scoops three awards

Shawn Mendes beat Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran to scoop the best artist prize at this year's MTV Europe Music Awards.

The Canadian singer also won the best song and the biggest fans awards at the event held at The SSE Arena, Wembley.

Flying the flag for Britain were Ed Sheeran who won best live act and Stormzy who won the best act for the UK and Ireland.

The awards returned to London on Sunday night for the first time in 21 years.

Other winners on the night were Dua Lipa who won best new act, Camila Cabello who scooped best pop and Eminem who won best hip-hop.
