Olivia Dean seems to be on a winning streak that never ends, as she won not one but three Mobo awards last night in Manchester.

It was the first time the Music of Black Origin Awards had come to Manchester, following in the footsteps of the Brits that also came up North for the first time last month.

Pop princess Olivia Dean scooped up album of the year for 'The Art Of Loving', song of the year for 'Man I Need', and also took home the best female act award.

During one of her many acceptance speeches, the 27-year-old singer from London said she felt "so proud to be a black British female artist".

Her Mobo wins come off the back of winning four Brits and a Grammy Award earlier this year.

As well as being a big night for Olivia Dean, it was also the Mobos 30th birthday!

The Mobos are a celebration of Black music and culture.

They were held at the Co-Op Live arena in Manchester for the first time ever.

The awards usually take place in London, but have also travelled to Liverpool, Leeds and Glasgow in the past.

The ceremony was hosted by hip-hop artist Eve and comedian Eddie Kadi and there were performances from Myles Smith, Estelle, and the night's stand-out star, Olivia Dean herself.

Who else won awards?

Pharrell was recognised in the songwriting category

It wasn't just Olivia Dean who picked up awards, though.

Raye's chart-topping single "Where Is My Husband'' won video of the year, and while she couldn't be there in person as she was getting ready for her tour, she said that she was "grateful for the recognition", and thanked the Mobos for everything they do for black culture.

Grammy-winning singer of 'Happy' Pharrell Williams won a global songwriter award and said: "When you love what you get to do, you're never working, you're just having the time of your life."

Other winners included Central Cee who won best hip-hop act, and Ezra Collective who won in the jazz category.
