Plan B Takes 3 Gongs Home

The winners of the 56th Ivor Novello Awards have been announced at Grosvenor House in London.

Plan B won both of the awards he was nominated for, which included 'PRS for Music Most Performed Work' and the 'Album Award', as well as 'Songwriter Of The Year'.

The star, real name Benjamin Drew, was presented with the latter prize from Elton John and said: "I just want to promise to the world that I am never going to put out music that I don't like."
