Calvin first won producer of the year, his first Brits win after several nominations over the years.

He said: "I've been coming here for a few years and I've never got the opportunity to say anything on this stage before.

"I want to thank the people at home, I want to thank these people here, I want to thank anyone that has bought a tune, streamed a tune, come to a show, listened to a song by accident on the radio and gone, 'What's this?'"

He added that the win "means a lot".
