In his acceptance speech, the 'Money On My Mind' sensation admitted that he didn't expect to be so successful at tonight's ceremony: "Oh my lord. Wow, thank you so much. I really didn't expect this. I want to thank my amazing team, my amazing publicist and my managers."

The British Artist Video was won by One Direction, who are currently on tour, for 'You and I'. Music mogul Simon Cowell accepted the gong, which is their fifth, on their behalf and said: 'This is so exciting! The boys are in Japan and made up a speech in case they did win. They want to thank their fans for voting and Ben Winston for making the video. I want to also say thank you to the boys for being amazing."
