Olivia Dean was crowned Queen of the BRIT Awards after scooping four gongs including Artist of the Year.

The 26-year-old confirmed her status as one of the UK’s biggest stars at the annual ceremony, held for the first time in Manchester.

She also landed Album of the Year, Pop Act, and shared Song of the Year with Sam Fender for their song Rein Me In.

The success comes on the back of similar silverware at this month’s Grammy Awards in which she won Best New Artist.

The north-London born star, whose songs include Man I Need and So Easy (To Fall In Love), beat acts including Lola Young, Lily Allen and DAVE to the coveted Artist of the Year.

Young however picked up Breakthrough Artist, while other stand-out wins included Wolf Alice for Group of the Year, and Sam Fender for Alternative/Rock.
