One Direction star Niall Horan tried his hand at rapping at last night's (February 19) BRIT Awards.

The group bagged two prizes at the music awards ceremony - British Video and Global Success.

It was the second time in a row that the band have won the Global gong and this seemingly spurred Horan into rapping at a backstage press conference.

He opened by speaking about One Direction's BRITs success before spitting lyrics about his recent knee operation.

Horan then stated that his favourite country to visit on tour is Australia.

The Irishman's bandmate Liam Payne meanwhile said at the BRITs that progress on the band's fourth album is going well and that the music is sounding "pretty good".
