Sam Smith wins BRIT award for 'Best Breakthrough'

Continues his award show shutdown

 

Adding to his considerable trophy cabinet, Sam Smith has won two Brit Awards with the most recent being 'Best Breakthrough'.

Watch Sam Smith discussing his win in the video above

Collecting an award one that hosts Ant and Dec were both nominated for, Smith collected his award from Fearne Cotton and Charli XCX. Given that he is already three times platinum in the UK alone, Smith genuinely seemed surprised to accept the award.

"Wow. Thank you so much," he said. "This is incredible, I really didn't expect this. I want to take this time to thank my amazinig team: Capitol Records in the UK and the US you've been so amazing I love you. My amazing publicists Carl and Caroline, I love you so much. And my manager Sam Jack and Alvin and Jimmy Napes whose wife is at home right now, about to pop. Very very pregnant! So this is for you Tilda. Thank you everyone, thank you so much."
