"It’s not lost on me how sacred your musical heritage is.

“Shooting here was honestly one of the best things I’ve done in my life. I got to go from Abbey Road Studios, Air Studios and see all of London and fall in love with it, to the point where I am looking for a place to live here.”

EE Rising Star Award (voted for by the public)

Black Panther actress Letitia Wright was stunned to be the winner, and thanked God numerous times during her touching speech.

She said: "A few years ago I saw myself in a deep state of depression and I literally wanted to quit acting.

"The only thing that pretty much pulled me out of that was God, my belief, my faith, my family and an email from Bafta saying they wanted me to be a part of the Bafta Break Through Brits, and I was like, 'let me try again'.

"So this wasn't an overnight thing; this wasn't a click of a finger success and it's still a work in progress. I'm still a work in progress."

This award recognises the world’s best upcoming talent and is the only award that is voted for by the public.
