Aidan wasn't the only home-grown talent to scoop an award at the glamorous event, as chart-topping DJ Calvin Harris was presented with the gong for best Solo Artist by singer Ellie Goulding.
Calvin joked that he felt he was nearing the end of the career as he picked up the award: 'I feel at 32 I'm nearing the end. Just kidding.'
He then recalled that he had been in a completely different career a decade to the week, adding: 'This week ten years ago was when I left Marks and Spencer Simply Food in Clapham South where I carried out such tasks as date rotating sandwiches and moving the salmon.' 
Though it seems that he couldn't resist taking a dig at his ex Taylor Swift and the breakdown of their relationship.
