FRESH from their success in the USA, Wet Leg crowned their breakout year with a BRIT Award – or rather two!

It's the biggest night in British music, and during a ceremony at The O2 Arena in London today (Saturday), the five-piece won Best New Artist and Group of the Year.

Ahead of picking up their awards, they took to the stage to perform Chaise Longue, joined by a troup of Morris dancers and a dancing horse.

The Isle of Wight Indie rock band were nominated four times - the most of any act at the ceremony, bar one; superstar, Harry Styles, who also received four nominations. 

The Island outfit stood with a chance of taking home all four honours; for Group of the Year, Best New Artist, Mastercard Album of the Year, and Best Rock/Alternative Act.

But it wasn't to be.

They lost out to The 1975 in the Best Rock/Alternative Act category, and Harry Styles in the Mastercard Album of the Year category.

Picking up their first award of the night, Rhian Teasdale - in a nod to Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner's offbeat 2014 BRIT Awards speech - said: “That rock and roll.

"It just won’t go away.

"It might hibernate from time to time, and sink back into the swamp..." 

It wasn't even a week ago when the band – comprising Rhian Teasdale, Hester Chambers, Joshua Mobararki, Henry Holmes and Ellis Durand – bagged themselves two prizes at the annual Grammy Awards show in Los Angeles.
