Watch live: Stars arrive for MTV Europe Music Awards in Manchester

Stars from across the globe are hitting the red carpet for this year’s European Music Awards (EMAs) in Manchester, as Rita Ora plays host for the evening.

Taylor Swift has the most nominations for the evening with seven, including best artist, best video, and biggest fans.

However, closely behind her are Sabrina Carpenter, Ariana Grande, Charli XCX, and Billie Eilish, who all have five nominations each.

Shawn Mendes, Raye, Pet Shop Boys, Benson Boone, and Teddy Swims are all set to perform during the show - and it’s expected there’ll also be a tribute to Liam Payne.

Central Cee, Charli XCX, Chase & Status, Dua Lipa, Hozier, and Raye will all be battling it out in a dedicated awards category for the best act from the UK and Ireland.

The EMAs will be available to watch in the UK on MTV and Pluto TV from 21:00 GMT on Sunday and on Channel 5 from 22:00 GMT.
