Becky Hill swooped the Best Dance Act award at the Brits ceremony.

The singer broke down in tears as she accepted the award and thanked her fans as she said: 'This was fan voted for and in the two weeks that people could vote for, I have never been so heart-warmed, I don’t even know if that’s a word, by all of my fans who just wanted to see me do well and support me. Thank you so much for making this a possibility for me.'

The Best Dance Act trophy is Becky's first Brit and she was up against nominees such as Joel Corry, Calvin Harris, Raye, and Fred Again.

Becky was also nominated for Song of the Year for her song 'Remember' with David Guetta but the award was won by Adele for her ballad ‘Easy on Me’.

Singer and Victorious line up act Anne-Marie was praised by fans for carrying on after she dramatically fell down the stairs whilst performing at the Brits.

Anne-Marie had only just started singing her UK top 10 hit ‘Kiss My (Uh-Oh) when she dropped to the floor.

She continued the performance, recovering in front of the crowd.

The singer, who has hits such as 'Alarm' and '2002', took to Twitter to speak about the fall as she joked 'didn't need my left ankle anyway.'

She later added that she would 'be in touch' with Specsavers after they offered her a free eye test.

The star was also nominated for Song of the Year for her tune ‘Don’t Play’ featuring Youtuber KSI.
