UK Rapper Tinie Tempah unexpectedly picked up two awards that night with British Breaktrhough Artist and Best Single. Last year this time he was no existent to the top charts, but with his number hit "Pass Out" he's taken the music scene by storm, alongside collaborating with big names Kelly Rowland and Labyrnith! He came suited and booted to the affair rocking geek-chic swag with a white blazer and black framed specs!

Latest urban sensation Plan B managed to snag the award for Best British Male! Benjamin Paul Ballance-Drew called Ed by his mum beat Robert Plant, Tinie Tempah, Paul Weller and Mark Ronson to the award. A great feat in the early stages of his music career wouldn't you say! The Brit winner was booed by music fans after he set fire to a police officer in a stunt during his performance of 'She said and Prayin'. Fans jeered as the fake copper was extinguished, and break-dancers and riot police danced around the stage. Talk about drama!

Boy group legends 'Take That' won Best British Group, 21yrs after their debut to their loyal fans. The boys opened the Brits at the London O2 with a highly energized riot themed performance.
