Take That win Best British Live Act award at Brit Awards

Gary Barlow and co. take home the first gong of the evening

Take That won the Best British Live Act award at the Brit Awards tonight (February 20).

Accepting the award from BBC Radio One presenter Chris Moyles, Gary Barlow was first to give thanks for the award.

“Thanks everybody,” he said. “Wow, unbelievable.” “This is a wonderful thing for us, we’re so honoured to do it,” added Jason Orange. “I still try and dance, 37 years old, I’ve got an arthritic knee. We appear before you bruised and battered but we just want to say we’re dead chuffed.”

The other nominations for the Best Live Act award were Arctic Monkeys, Kaiser Chiefs, Klaxons and Muse.
