The singer beat the likes of Florence & The Machine and Leona Lewis to the award at Earls Court.

Allen revealed her plans to embark on a new direction when she was asked on the red carpet about her record label EMI’s current financial problems.

Lily Allen predicts that she will walk away empty-handed at tonight’s Brit awards even though she been nominated in three categories.

Our Lily has been nominated for Best Single for The Fear, Best Album for It’s Not Me, It’s You and Best Female but claims she never wins any awards.
“Best female is a really strong category this year,” she told The Sun.
“I never win awards for my music ever and I’m not holding out any hopes tonight.”

“My chances are pretty slim because Florence is obviously the favourite in the Best Female category.”
“I don’t think my album is the best album of the year, even though I’ve got more sales than everyone bar Susan Boyle.”
Lily seems to be licking her wounds from three years ago when she failed to pick up any gongs in four of the Brit categories she was nominated in.
She made up for it by partying the night away with ex-Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher.

She joked: “I’ve been once to the Brits before. I only went to the one where I was nominated for four and then didn’t win any.”
“Yeah, that was quite a good night. I went out with Liam and Nicole Appleton that night.”

Lily also claimed she was shocked to find out Robbie Williams would win an award for Outstanding Contribution To Music – because he’s still son young.
“I was having a meeting with the producers and they were saying the last performance is Robbie Williams, because he’s winning a Lifetime Achievement award.
