Simon Cowell says One Direction have the "greatest" fans after BRITs success

Simon Cowell has praised One Direction fans after they helped the band secure two BRIT Awards.

The 'Kiss You' stars bagged the British Video and Global Success gongs at last night's (February 19) awards ceremony in London.

The former was voted by fans and the latter recognised the worldwide fame and popularity One Direction have.

Speaking on Twitter after the ceremony, Cowell - who has just become a father for the first time - said:

"Congratulations One D! Global success of the year. So happy for you. A huge thank you to everyone who helped them achieve this. The greatest fans. Thank you everyone for voting for best video. It is a brilliant video. Congrats to the boys and Ben who made it."

Cowell was on hand to help piece together One Direction from five solo contestants on the UK X Factor in 2010.
