Leona Lewis And Estelle Triumph At Mobo Awards

October 16, 2008
Leona Lewis And Estelle Triumph At Mobo AwardsLeona Lewis and Estelle were both double winners at the Mobo Awards in London last night (October 15th).

Lewis, a former winner of the reality TV show The X Factor, won Best Video and Best Album for her debut 'Spirit'.

Estelle capped a phenomenal year picking up Best UK Female and Best Song for 'American Boy', which features Kanye West.

The awards, which took place at Wembley Arena, honour music of black origin.

Other winners last night included Dizzee Rascal, who, like Lewis, was unable to attend the ceremony. The UK grime star picked up Best Male for the second year running.

Intentional awards went to US R&B star Chris Brown, who picked up Best International Act, and Lil' Wayne, who won the Best Hip-Hop prize.

The ceremony, which was hosted by former Spice Girl Mel B, will be broadcast on the BBC this Saturday (October 18th).
