Sam Fender enjoys BRITs afterparty after promising to give award to his local pub

Sam Fender celebrated his BRIT Awards win in style at the ceremony's afterparty on Tuesday night.

The Geordie star, 27, won the trophy for Best Rock/Alternative at the awards in London and looked ecstatic as he took to the stage to deliver his acceptance speech.

And it appears as though the euphoria continued well into the night as the 17 Going Under singer was snapped enjoying a drink in the early hours.

Wearing a bright pink t-shirt with a black jacket over the top, Sam was seen mixing with other partygoers as he lapped up the atmosphere after landing his second BRIT - his first coming in 2019 when he won the Critics Choice Award.

This year he also narrowly missed out on Artist of the Year and Mastercard's Album of the Year.

Sam won the Best Rock/Alternative award thanks to TikTok fans voting.

Sam had been regularly interacting with his fans on social media as he canvassed for votes for the award over the last few weeks and it's clear his jovial posts had paid off as his name was called by Rolling Stone legend Ronnie Wood as the winner.

He lifted the trophy after beating off competition from the likes of Coldplay and Tom Grennan.

He also performed on stage with his bandmates on the night.

His saxophone player Johnny Blue Hat's look was sure to have delighted the band's local fans after he donned a retro Newcastle United shirt for the occasion on the same night the Toon Army also collected three points.

The North Shields-native had promised his local pub in the North East the gong if he were to win and is likely to follow through with his promise in the coming weeks.

He has said the boozer can use the award as a beer pump and it will sit alongside his previous award which is also in use on the taps.

Elsewhere at the afterparty the likes fellow Geordie Sophie Kasaei appeared to enjoyed the celebrations as she was snapped stumbling while leaving the venue.

Emily Atack was also photographed sharing a cab ride with Grazziano Di Prima with the pair enjoying a laugh.

Runner Mo Farah was full of smiles as he left the venue and even stuck his head out of the backseat window to pose for pics.
