Accepting her award for Song of the Year, she said: “I can’t believe a piano ballad won against that many bangers. Thank you so much. It’s always a pleasure to be here. I always love coming home.”

She was also named Artist of the Year, a newly created category merging the old Best Male and Best Female awards, beating Ed Sheeran.

Sheeran received a consolation prize in the form of an award for Best Songwriter, another new category.

Adele first won the album prize in 2012 for 21, her second album, and won again in 2016 with 25. Her winning album this year, 30, chronicles motherhood and divorce.

The Tottenham-born singer flew back from Los Angeles, where she now lives, to perform at the Brits ceremony.

It was her first public performance since the postponement of her Las Vegas residency only 24 hours before the first show was set to begin at Caesars Palace.

Many fans had spent thousands traveling to Las Vegas. In an attempt at damage limitation, Adele called some of them personally to apologise.
