Take That won the Best British Single award at the Brit Awards 2008 tonight (February 20) in London.

The boy band accepted their second gong on the evening from guest presenter Alan Carr, who had joked that he was “pissed” because he put a straw in Amy Winehouse’s beehive.

The band thanked their fans for voting them winners in the category before they left the stage.

The other singles nominated for the gong were: Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse: ‘Valerie', The Hoosiers: ‘Worried About Ray’, Mika: ‘Grace Kelly’, Leona Lewis: ‘Bleeding Love’ and Take That: ‘Shine’.

Well I voted for the Kaiser Chief's Ruby but obviously there are a lot of good songs out there and we don't all like the same type of music.

I have nothing against Take That - I think it is great that they have made it second time around and without Robbie.

You can't blame the public - how many of you actually voted for the song you thought should win ... perhaps Take That's fan base is more obsessive than the Kaiser Chiefs etc and actually took the time to vote.
