The Brits: We sat through the ceremony so you didn't have to

The Brit Awards, the UK's biggest and best showcase of homegrown talent. Well, kinda.

Every year we plonk ourselves in front of the TV with a glass of wine and a ready meal to feast upon the historic awards ceremony and this year was no different, except for us. This year we made it. We'd finally got ourselves some tickets for the actual event and boy were we excited.

It was a fun night out that's for sure, if only Chris Martin hadn't have shown up to spoil things. Skepta smashed it, Stormzy and Ed owned it and a dancer dressed as a house fell of the stage while dancing for Katy Perry. Big.

Here's our minute-by-minute update of exactly what happened, and we mean down to a tee. We sat through the ceremony to bring you the most detailed guide to the Brits of all time.
