Ed Sheeran favourite to beat Sam Smith at Brit Awards

Ed Sheeran is the bookies' favourite to beat Sam Smith to the Best Male prize at this year's Brit Awards.

The nominations for the 2015 awards were announced on Thursday (January 15) and all categories will be hotly contested.

The Best Male section sees Sheeran go head-to-head with Smith, but William Hill have placed the former as the favourite.

The 'x' hitmaker has odds of 4/5 whilst 'In The Lonely Hour' man Smith is priced at 13/8.

Paloma Faith - who is performing at the ceremony - is favourite to win the Best Female category and Brighton duo Royal Blood lead the Best Group section.
