Mumford & Sons, Hozier, Jess Glynne and OMI are all also confirmed for the awards, which will take place on December 10 at Birmingham’s Genting Arena.

Fearne Cotton and Chris Evans will return to host the BBC Music Awards, which launched in London last year.

"We had such a blast last year,” Evans said, “I can't wait to get back on stage and relive this amazing musical year of 2015."
