After taking out triple j’s Hottest 100 with her smash hit ‘Man I Need’, UK pop and soul singer Olivia Dean has swept the BRIT Awards, taking home four gongs for Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, Best Pop Act and Song of the Year for her Sam Fender duet ‘Rein Me In’.

Other winners on the night included Wolf Alice taking home Best British Group, Lola Young winning Breakthrough Artist, Rosaliá named Best International Artist and Geese being awarded Best International Group, with Geese’s Max Bassin keeping his acceptance speech short but sweet: “Free Palestine, fuck ICE, go Geese.”

Held at Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena, the first time the award show had been staged outside of London, Sam Fender, Dave, Sault and Fred Again.. also picked up awards, while earlier in the week, PinkPantheress was named Producer of the Year, making her both the first woman and youngest artist to claim the prestigious award.
