Harry Styles, 29, ended up beating Lewis in the Song of the Year category for his ‘As It Was’ hit, and swept the board at the ceremony by taking home four awards, in every category in which he was nominated, including the controversial Artist of the Year prize.

The singer, 26, performed his ballad ‘Forget Me’ at the ceremony on Saturday (11.02.23) night in London’s O2 Arena – for which he was nominated for Song of the Year – but host Mo Gilligan, 34, made a glaring error by saying “Sam Capaldi” was about to play, in an apparent mix-up between Lewis’ and his fellow BRITs nominee Sam Smith’s names.
