Meanwhile, The BRITs have also confirmed the winner of their 2021 Rising Star award.
This year saw Hertfordshire singer-songwriter Griff beat out competition from fellow shortlisted acts Pa Salieu and Rina Sawayama to win the prize, which was formerly known as the BRITs Critics' Choice Award.
Griff said of the news: "In my head I'm still screaming from the phone call when I found out. It's honestly such a miracle: how on earth did we manage to win a BRIT and break through during a pandemic?"
The Taylor Swift-endorsed artist follows last year's winner Celeste, who is nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Original Song category this year.
