Rock fans rejoiced earlier this evening when Royal Blood won Best British Group at the BRIT Awards, beating out the likes of Coldplay, Alt-J, Clean Bandit and, somewhat contentiously, One Direction.
In their speech, the band told the crowd, "This is a huge surprise for us, it's probably more of a surprise for everyone here, as you may not even know who we are." Though Ant & Dec assured them that wasn't true - it turns out that many fervent 1D fans really don't know who they are.
Courtesy of Pete Paphides, here are just a few of the One Direction fans who are livid that their "boys" were beaten out by "Royal Shit."
