Harry Styles, Wet Leg and Beyoncé win at Brits 2023 as technical issues affect show

The Brit Awards have returned for another star-studded night for a celebration of music. The music awards ceremony was shown live on ITV on Saturday (February 11), but the show suffered some "technical difficulties" when live broadcasting was paused and last year's performance of Adele's single, 'I Drink Wine', was shown instead.

Harry Styles picked up the coveted trophies for Best Pop/R'n'B Act, Best Artist and Album of the Year and he decided to thank his One Direction bandmates Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik, saying: "I wouldn't be here without you."

Styles, who starred in Don't Worry, Darling`last year alongside Florence Pugh, has been touring across the world as part of his 'Love on Tour' concert dates.

Beyoncé, who couldn't be there in person to collect the awards, sent a video message to thank her British fans. She won the awards for Best International Song (for Break My Soul) and Best International Artist.

Meanwhile, Wet Leg had an eventful night too. They took to the stage to collect their awards for Best Group and New Act, but their acceptance speech was partially bleeped when they exclaimed: "F**k the tories!"

The 1975 also won Best Alternative/Rock Act and thanked their fans for voting for them.

There were performances from Lewis Capaldi, Lizzo, Sam Smith and Kim Petras, and Stormzy.
