To a huge cheer from the audience at the O2 Arena in London, Sheeran accepted the award presented by Rita Ora and Orlando Bloom. Sheeran took the chance to thank one particular member of his team.
"Wow. Cheers. Thank you very much. That's a good way to start the night. Basically, the first year I came to the BRITs was 2011, and I met my TV girl there, Deirdre Moran, and she's taken me through every single TV show I've ever done and she's leaving, and this is her last thing she's every doing today, so I'd like to dedicate this award to Deirdre. Thank you."
Sheeran is due to perform tonight along with the likes of Royal Blood, Madonna, Sam Smith, Paloma Faith, George Ezra and Kanye West all set to take to the stage for some huge performances.
There's also the matter of some awards, with Taylor Swift, Royal Blood, FKA Twigs, Coldplay and loads more all nominated for some of the night's biggest prizes. Ant & Dec also take the helm as presenters, following James Cordon quitting after his stint came to an end last year.
