While Willoughby believes the Monkeys should grab the prize, Knight is firmly backing Take That.

She said: "They have to win a Brit because that album, A Beautiful World, was fantastic. And I don't think people saw it coming.

"They came back with a mature, well-crafted record that sold and sold and sold. And the tour was astonishing. I was proud to work with them a couple years back and I'll be cheering very loudly if they win."

Sophie Ellis-Bextor is also rooting for the boyband, saying: "I just did the Take That support tour last year. I was with them for 34 arena dates and they were so fantastic. I'd love to see them go home with one or two gongs."
