Adele triumphs in Best Single BRITs category

Adele has triumphed in the 'Best British Single' category at the BRIT Awards in London tonight (February 20).

The star's 'Skyfall' beat off fellow nominees including Labrinth's 'Beneath Your Beautiful',

James Arthur's 'Impossible', Robbie Williams' 'Candy', Coldplay and Rihanna's 'Princess of China'.

Adele couldn't be at the ceremony as she is currently in Los Angeles rehearsing for the Oscars, but she appeared on a video link to accept the award.

Joking about last year when host James Corden famously cut the singer's acceptance speech short to introduce Blur, Adele quipped: "I don't want to interrupt the best album speech at the end of the night," before assuring fans she'd be back in the country soon.

Meanwhile, Coldplay scooped the gong for 'Best British Live Act' beating the likes of Mumford & Sons, Muse and The Rolling Stones.

Taking to the stage, the band gushed: "Thank you very much. This is extraordinary."

Dave Grohl presented the awards for 'Best International Group' which went to The Black Keys.

They beat off competition from the likes of The Script, fun. and The Killers.
