The 23-year-old won Song of the Year for his single Someone You Loved. He also picked up the award for Best New Artist.

And viewers were left a little surprised by his acceptance speech as he scooped up the award – mainly because the the entire thing got bleeped out.

However, someone has since shared the uncensored speech – and the entire situation ahs left viewers in stitches.

Later in the evening, the 23-year-old delivered another memorable thank you speech as he accepted the award for Song of the Year.

“Contrary to popular belief, a lot of people think this song is about my ex-girlfriend who you can see every night on Love Island,” he said in a nod to Love Island’s Paige Turley.

“[The song] is actually about my grandma who passed away a few years ago,” he explained, before quipping: “I hope Love Island don’t contact her to be on the show.”

He went on to say that the last year has been the best one of his life, as he thanked his label, his parents to thank the label and before adding one more thank you.

“Thanks to my grandma for… dying? I’m sorry,” he quipped, before heading off the stage.
