Reacting to her phenomenal feat, RAYE told BRITs: "It’s too much. The only way I can describe it is a miracle.

"A year and a half ago, as far as the industry was concerned, I was down and out. Never in my wildest dreams would I think that trying again would mean seven BRIT nominations!

A former BRIT School student herself, RAYE added: "I’m a BRIT kid. I went to BRIT School. It was the goal, to find my way, somehow, to the BRIT Awards. I’ve had some nominations in the past, which I’ve been so grateful for, but this is a whole different thing. Best Album! It’s a joke!

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
