Paolo's superb second album 'Sunny Side Up' has been nominated for a BRIT in the all-important 'Best Album' category at this year's awards, while Paolo himself is up for 'Best Male'.

The nominations are an amazing tribute to the hard work Paolo and the boys put in and recognition of the belief and support of Paolo's fanbase - surely the best fans in the world.

The BRITs are 30 this year, so the show should be even more spectacular than usual - it's all happening on Tuesday 16th February at Earl’s Court, London. Keep your fingers crossed and tune in on the night to find out if Paolo's won.

In the meantime, the Nominations Launch Party can be seen on ITV2 at the following times:
