Dua Lipa bagged two BRIT Awards at the annual ceremony on Tuesday (11.05.21), making her the biggest winner on the night.
The 25-year-old singer was named the winner of both British Female Artist and Album of the Year for her 2020 hit, âFuture Nostalgiaâ, which saw her top the list of winners at the socially-distanced ceremony.
This yearâs ceremony saw the winners get two gongs for each award, as bosses were keen for them to give their spare accolades to people who have made a difference to the world over the past year.
And after dedicating her first award to nurse Dame Elizabeth Anionwu, Dua chose to present her second win to the family of Folajimi Olubunmi-Adewole, who died last month when he jumped into the River Thames to try and save a woman who fell from London Bridge.
