North Shields rock star Sam Fender is up for a number of coveted Brit Awards at tonight's ceremony, after a fantastic couple of years saw him shoot into stardom.
Sam is no stranger to the awards, first honoured by the Brits at the start of 2019 when he received the Critics Choice accolade - and now he's up for a trio of further gongs.
He finds himself on the shortlist for Best Artist alongside Adele, Ed Sheeran, Little Simz and Dave, as well as Best Rock/Alternative Act.
