Also winning two awards, Stereophonics won Best Indie and were also honoured with the Global Special Award in recognition of their remarkable career which spans over 25 years and their contribution to music and entertainment.

Jonas Brothers were crowned Best Group, with Ed Sheeran winning the award for Best Male and Camila Cabello winning Best Female. The star also opened the show with a stunning performance of her hits My Oh My and Havana.

Dua Lipa won Best British Act while Tones and I scooped the award for Best Pop. The Australian star performed her hits Dance Monkey and Never Seen The Rain.

British singer songwriter Ellie Goulding performed her 2015 number 1 hit Love Me Like You Do., while classical stars Aled Jones and Russell Watson gave a moving rendition of Cinema Paradiso and Funiculi Funicula.

The Global Awards also crowned Aitch with the Rising Star Award, recognising an artist who has achieved breakthrough success in 2019. He also gave unforgettable performances of two of the biggest tunes of 2019: Buss Down and Taste (Make It Shake).

Showing the musical diversity of the awards, the public voted Sheku Kanneh-Mason as Best Classical Artist.

The public vote also named Stormzy the winner of Hip Hop or R&B. He thanked Capital and Capital XTRA listeners for their support via video message, saying it was “an honour once again” to take home his second Global Award.

The inaugural winners of The Global Awards’ brand new category for 2020, Chris and Rosie Ramsey were voted as recipients of Best Podcast for Sh**ged, Married, Annoyed.

The public also submitted nominations for The LBC Award, which saw LBC listeners choose a story that has resonated with them over the last twelve months. PC Stuart Outten – the heroic officer dubbed “Britain’s Bravest Police Officer” after he took down a machete attacker with a taser last August - was presented with the award by LBC’s Nick Ferrari.

Finally, Smooth’s Jenni Falconer gave out the Very Award to Andy Smith. The Very Award recognises a special someone from a Global’s Make Some Noise-supported charity who has gone above and beyond to help young people in their communities through the medium of music. Andy is co-founder of the London-based charity Regenerate, which supports disadvantaged and vulnerable children and young people in Roehampton and Wandsworth, and runs a range of projects and initiatives to help young people uncover their potential and nurture their hopes for the future.
