Little Mix: Cold but upbeatpublished at 15:58
Little Mix are here to play their hit single Black Magic - which enjoyed one of the year's longest runs at the top of the charts.
And they're already looking forward to performing it on their tour next year.
"The tour opening is just epic," says Jesy Nelson. "We literally can't wait."
But the quartet won't spill any more beans on the setlist.
"It's all a surprise. You'll have to get tickets if you want to know," says Perrie Edwards.
The band were wearing some stunning - if revealing - stage outfits as they met fans outside the venue. Something which they came to regret.
"These are not cold weather outfits," shivered Perrie.

The start of a beautiful new partnership?published at 15:55
What with One Direction going on hiatus in 2016, Liam Payne might have a bit of spare time on his hands. Could he spend some of it working with OMI, we wonder?

Needing no introduction, it's Jack Garrattpublished at 15:52
Unlike most of our nominees today, Jack Garratt can rest easy knowing he's already bagged the BBC Introducing Artist of the Year Award. Maybe that's why he looks so darn chilled on the red carpet.

Hozier isn't sick of Church... yetpublished at 15:50
Mark Savage
Music reporter
Irish singer-songwriter Hozier's up for two prizes today - best international act and song of the year, for Take Me To Church.
"I'm thrilled. Absolutely thrilled. There's so much talent here - it's great just to be amongst them."
He describes Take Me To Church, which was first released two years ago, as "a real slow-grower."
"I still like singing it," he says. "I do, I do, I do, I do..."
"I'm not pulling my hair out yet."

Kelly Jones' wise words of wisdompublished at 15:48
Mark Savage
Music reporter
Welsh rockers Stereophonics are, amazingly, 19 years into their career - and singer Kelly Jones has some advice for the nominees for tonight's award show newbies.
"It's nice to get an award as a newcomer, because you get recognised for the work you've done behind the scenes before anybody knows who you are.
"It's the first step on the ladder but don't take it too seriously. You've got to keep writing the tunes."

James Bay: Speechlesspublished at 15:40
Mark Savage
Music reporter
"This week's been massive" says James Bay, who performs at ceremony tonight's show, just days after being nominated for best new artist at the Grammys.
"Apparently, I went grey in the face," he says of being shortlisted for the prestigious award. "I was pretty speechless. And still am."
"America is a big monster of a place, and it takes a while to get under their skin so a Grammy nomination is a real mind-blowing feeling."
