This years Brit awards were staged last night at Earl's Court. The show, presenting the best of British musical talent is always a hit amongst music fans in the UK and the world. The star studded event was also shown live on ITV. This year's presenters were James Corden & Matt Horne, two of the stars of BBC 3's hit comedy series Gavin & Stacey, coupled with pop superstar Kylie Minogue.

The show featured some fantastic performances from the likes of Coldplay, U2, Take That and many others although, the oddest performance had to go to Take That. The British band arrived into Earl's Court via a floating platform, with an alien theme James Corden even joked 'could they clean the guttering' whilst they were flew to the top of the arena.
The real winner of the night was Duffy, she recieved a total of three awards. These were for Best British Female, Best British Album and Best British Breakthrough act. She held back the tears as she was presented her final award, stating that it was the result of 'five years work.' However she had time for a joke in regards to her Best British Female Award, "I don't know what that means, but it's a good job my mum didn't have a boy.'
