The BRIT Awards have kicked off on UTV Ireland, with Ant & Dec hosting the biggest awards shindig in the UK's music calendar.

We're currently live-tweeting the event, so if you're not near a telly yourself, head over to our Twitter page for updates on the ceremony, the performances (Kanye West is playing, so it could get ker-aaazy) and the winners as it happens.
