Rita , 26, left fans struggling to keep as she continually changed clothes throughout the show, which was held at Wembley Arena in London.

She started off by walking the red carpet in her dressing gown and the singer looked as if she failed to get ready in time.

As she posed for pictures, she wore just a white robe and a towel on her head as she headed down the red carpet in a VERY casual outfi before strutting away backstage to continue her preparations.

It later turned out to be part of a skit which was played at the start of the show.

She was seen being invited to be host at the last minute and rushing through the London Underground in her towel robe to get to the ceremony in Wembley.

After the show opened with Eminem, Rita appeared in the same dressing gown and trainers and apologised for not having time to get ready.

She then promised the audience she would be getting changed before heading backstage to start her fashion parade.

Her outfits included a dazzling multi-coloured floor length gown which was her first costume after shedding her dressing gown.

It was a practical black vest top and shorts for her performance onstage, but then her whirlwind changes continued.

The show opened with a performance by rapper Eminem, who gave a rendition of new track Walk on Water, and later picked up the prize for best Hip-Hop artist.
