There was equal thanks from Irish star Niall Horan who said he would be celebrating by getting a cheeseburger.

"Yessss! We won a Brit award! Thank you so much to all of you for gettin us here ! Now off to mcdonalds for a double cheese burger," he said.

An emotional Louis Tomlinson, who spoke first as the band accepted the prize, tweeted: "Ahhhhhhhhhhh . What a f****** night !! You guys are unreal ! We love you all !!" 

The band missed the chance of winning another award at the ceremony – losing out to Mumford & Sons for British Group.

The big winners of the night were Emeli Sande and Ben Howard, who both took home two prizes.

Lana Del Rey, Frank Ocean and The Black Keys also were among the prizes with performances coming from the likes of Robbie Williams, Justin Timberlake and Emeli Sande.
