Last night saw One Direction claim three MTV EMA awards, as Ariana Grande, Katy Perry and 5 Seconds of Summer followed closely, scoring two gongs each.

Hosted by Nicki Minaj, the landmark event took viewers through the 20-year history of the EMAs, and even saw David Hasselhoff dress up in blue face paint to become ‘BraveHoff’ – yes, really.
