All Things Brit Part 1

Coldplay opened the show, playing guitars splattered with neon paint with a set that wouldn't look out of place in a festival rave tent.

Sir Peter Blake, got a mention in James Corden's opening speech. The less-than-enthused gent designed the special 2012 Brit in a tribute to the 2012 Olympics which are to be hosted in London.

Alan Carr also sat at Adele's table and the pair were seen chuckling along together throughout.

There was also a tribute to the late Whitney Houston who died little over a week ago, aged 48.

Florence and the Machine was next to perform. Her and her dozen backing dancers all performed barefoot, running along the stage to a podium surrounded with upturned strobe-lights making her appear to be caged in the music.

And that's it for part one...

All Things Brit

Ed Sheeran is remaining humble about his four Brit award nominations. In a quick interview with CapitalFM he said, "I don't want to place too much importance on it, in case I walk away like 'oh, that wasn't really...'"

He also went on to say that he shared Jessie J's stance that just being nominated; "We've already won, I know that's cheesy to say."

Ed is performing fourth on stage and will be surrounded by friends and family whilst finding out whether or not he wins.

"I think at best I'll come away with two." He thinks that One Direction will win British Single, "It's all on votes and their fanbase is massive." He also thinks that Adele is bound to win British Album.

And she's arrived! Rihanna is at the Brits.

She's been trending on Twitter non-stop the past two days due to her two new remixes with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown having stormed the internet. In the midst of rumours that they are back together, Rihanna has shown up to the Brits alone, with a smile on her face and looking as gorgeous as ever.

I really like the blond hair...

Example told CapitalFM his mum said she'd slap him if got drunk on camera tonight. He then said "I'm not going to win anything so I won't be on camera!"

He's going to be sat on Adele's table, which he says is the only reason he changed his mind and decided to attend the awards.

Example has been nominated for British Single along with:

British Single Adele - Someone Like You Ed Sheeran - The A Team Example - Changed The Way You Kissed Me Jessie J ft Bob - Price Tag JLS ft Dev - She Makes Me Wanna Military Wives/Gareth Malone - Wherever You Are Olly Murs ft Rizzle Kicks - Heart Skips A Beat One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful Pixie Lott - All About Tonight The Wanted - Glad You Came

He said: "Against One Direction and Army Wives you're going to war there. Against the One Direction army and the actual army!"

Looks like the One Direction boys overdid it with the fake tan...

I'm a little bit excited for the Brits today. Just over an hour to go!

Ed Sheeran has been nominated for the most awards today, and upon arrival at the red carpet, was given this from Lego, in tribute to his song Lego House.

How amazing!

Also Jessie J arrived about an hour ago looking gorgeous as always...

Personally, I love her hair today but that dress is definitely a stunner.

She's not the only celeb thats glammed up for the event, Ed Sheeran is certainly looking dapper in his suit...

Big performances tonight are coming from Ed Sheeran, Rizzle Kicks and Olly Murs. Also Adele is definitely going to have some big wins tonight. Her table is closest to the stage; if that doesn't give the game away I don't know what does...

All Things I Love...

Everyone's different, yes? Glad you agree. So different things make us all happy right? I'm told that some of the things I love are quite random and weird things to admit. Personally, I just think I'm easily amused. But I've decided to let you decide. You. You there, reading this. Hey you - bored of Facebook clearly. (I really don't blame you.)

So yeah, back on topic; here's all the things that I love...

• Rainbow colours
• The feeling of achievement you get when finishing something
• Watching reality TV (guilty pleasure - I'll admit it!)
• Traditions
• The smell of freshly boiled water

• Getting post
• Belting out a big song and getting all of the words right
• Photographs
• Bedrooms with character

• Cooking
• Baking
• Learning how to use new things (software etc...)
• Making playlists for any occasion
• Trying new things
• The Clothes Show Live
