Harry Styles thanks Lewis Capaldi after winning BRIT Award for Song of The Year

Harry Styles swept The BRITs on Saturday night as he took home four awards, including the sought after Album Of The Year, following the huge success of his third effort, Harry's House.

The former One Direction star was up against some stiff competition in the categories and managed to beat Scottish stars Lewis Capaldi and LF System to Song Of The Year at The BRITs. Ed Sheeran, Elton John, George Ezra, Sam Smith, and more were also up for the award before losing out to the 28-year-old.

During his acceptance speech, the Watermelon Sugar star included a thank you to Lewis, 26, as he accepted the award. Taking to the stage, he began: “Hello! This album and this song was the most fun I’ve ever had making music.

"I want to thank [Sony Music CEO] Rob Stringer for lending me his house to record this in, write it in. "

He continues: "I want to thank Tom [Hull, Kid Harpoon] and Tyler Johnson [co-writer] and everyone, all my friends who support me … Thank you to everyone who listened and thank you Lewis,” he says, gesturing towards Lewis Capaldi.

This is potentially a nod to when the BRIT Award nominations were announced, Lewis already seemed convinced the former boyband star would take home the trophy.

Taking to Twitter after the announcement was made, Capaldi cheekily wrote: "It’s an honour to be nominated for British Song Of The Year. I very much look forward to seeing @Harry_Styles accept the award #BRITs"
