Little Mix’s Leigh-Anne Pinnock signs a massive solo deal with Warner – two month after the group announce their break

Olivia Rodrigo is safe and sound after all following Sam Fender’s boozy Brits after-party.The teen sensation, who nabbed the gong for international song of the year, headed to the 27-year-old singer’s after-party, and we can only imagine that would have been her first shindig in South London.

The 2022 BRIT Awards took place at London’s O2 Arena on Tuesday night with Little Simz, Dave, and Adele all taking home awards. For the first time the awards removed gender categories and instead focused on genre, with Dave winning Best Hip-Hop/Rap/Grime Act and Little Simz collecting the Best New Artist prize, despite releasing her debut mixtape over a decade ago.

Spotify streams of Little Simz‘ music have soared over 350 per cent following her appearance at this year’s BRIT Awards.The rapper, who released her last album, ‘Sometimes I Might Be Introvert’, back in September, won the award for Best New Artist at last night’s (February 8) ceremony at London’s The O2. She also performed a medley of her tracks ‘Introvert’ and ‘Woman’.Her massive night has since prompted a huge spike in Spotify streams in comparison to other BRITs winners including Adele, Silk Sonic, Ed Sheeran, Dave and Sam Fender.There was a 812 per cent increase in streams of ‘Introvert’ and a 594 per cent spike for ‘Woman’, equating to a 365 per cent jump overall.Elsewhere, Adele, who took home three BRITs last night (Artist Of The Year, Album Of The Year, Song Of The Year), saw a 137 per cent increase in Spotify streams following the awards, while Dave’s streams went up by 217 per cent. Fender’s music saw a 79 per cent jump.“As ever, the BRITs showed the incredible breadth of talent being fostered here in the UK, across every genre of music,” Tom Connaughton, managing director of Spotify UK and Ireland, said in a statement (via Rolling Stone UK).

Olivia Rodrigo and Sam Fender were among the stars heading straight to celebrate another year of music mayhem at the Brit Awards after parties.It was a wild night, featuring a very unlikely collaboration between Ed Sheeran and Bring Me The Horizon, Anne-Marie styling out a tumble down the steps like an absolute pro, and Mo Gilligan having to apologise after getting a little carried away and dropping an F-bomb on live TV.But, the party didn’t stop there for the stars, with Idris seen heading out of the Soho House after party.The Luther actor, who’s also a musician in his own right, rocked a bright pink Gucci jacket for the occasion, donning sunnies as he made his way out of the party.He had presented the award for the coveted album of the year award, which went to Adele for her record 30.Good 4 U hitmaker Olivia, who scooped up the award for international song of the year, headed to Sam Fender’s after party in what we can only assume is her first time at a British after party in South London and we love that for her.Sam himself, who landed the rock/alternative award, looked to be having a blast as he headed to the after party with his statuette in hand. Sporting a bright pink T-shirt and jacket, the Seventeen Going Under singer looked to be loving the atmosphere and enjoying a well-deserved celebration after his brilliant performance.

Love Island star Maura Higgins has revealed the reason why she was late to The Brit Awards, and it was all down to the traffic.The brunette beauty, 31, joined the likes of Anne-Marie, Adele, Ed Sheeran and Idris Elba in attending the awards, but completely missed the red carpet as a result of the bad traffic she endured on the way.Taking to Instagram to explain why she was late, she told her 3.3 million followers: “Guys I have actually missed the red carpet, urm, because the traffic was crazy and I’m only just arriving.” In the background of the clip, you can hear the crowd at the Brits cheering for whoever was on stage. Maura stunned in a black and white co-ord made up of a one-shouldered top resembling one side of a blazer jacket, paired with a risqué black mini skirt with a split up the side and a single button holding it all together. Completing the look, Maura wore her hair in slicked back bun and a pair of dangling diamond earrings.

After last year's scaled back show, The Brit Awards 2022 went all out to give memorable performances and some incredible celebrity moments. Adele, 33, stole the show as she performed her now iconic I Drink Wine, picked up three gongs and tearfully dedicated her wins to her ex Simon Konecki, 47, and their son Angelo, nine. And who wouldn't notice the giant pear-shaped rock she had on her ring finger – sparking speculation that she's set to marry her boyfriend Rich Paul, 40, just weeks after it was reported they could be in trouble? We also saw Anne-Marie remind everyone of 63 year old Madonna's epic fall back in 2015, but the 30 year old Friends hitmaker quickly picked herself up and continued the performance, gaining much praise for doing so.

ED Sheeran declared his electric performance to open the Brits was his “teenage fantasy”. The superstar pulled out all the stops beneath a giant pylon on the stage of London’s O2. His rock remix of single Bad Habits with moshers Bring Me the Horizon featured some 90 dancers, flame-throwers and burning oil drums.

LITTLE Mix snubbed the Brits ceremony tonight after failing to pick up the two gongs they were nominated for. It was the last Brits for the group, who announced they would be going on hiatus at the end of this year.
