Coldplay won the Best British Group award at tonight's BRIT Awards, and Chris Martin took the opportunity to thank his bandmates... "Harry, Zayn and Liam."

The band were nominated alongside Blur, Foals, One Direction and Years & Years, and were presented the award by comedy actor Simon Pegg.

Acceping the award, Chris Martin said, "What a treat. From Harry, Zayn, Liam and me, Niall, thank you." No-one told him Zayn Malik has left the band, clearly.

He also forgot Years & Years, whom he referred to as "the other one," when thanking his fellow nominees, and paid tribute to the many displaced refugees, saying, "We could all be all refugees, so we send our love to them."
