Last night (4 November) saw this year's Mobo Awards take place at Glasgow's SSE Hydro - but an embarrassing mix-up saw a music act handed the wrong trophy.

R&B trio WSTRN were announced as victors in the best song category despite the actual winner was MC Abra Cadabra's "Robbery" featuring Krept & Konan.

The ceremony's hosts, Rickie Williams and Melvin Odoom, revealed the "production error" an hour later stating that "someone [had] picked up the wrong envelope."

Organisers apologised for the mistake on social media with a note from producers blaming "human error."

It wasn't all bad for WSTRN; they later won the award for best newcomer.

The night belonged to Craig David and lady Leshurr who won best male act and best female act, respectively; it was the former's first MOBO Award in 16 years.

Other winners included Kano, Section Boyz and Drake in the international artist category. You can find a full list of winners here.
