The Black Eyed Peas were at the centre of a huge blunder in Cannes on Saturday when they mistakenly given a prestigious music award.

The American group were crowned Best International Group at the NRJ Music Awards when presenter Kamel Ouali read out the wrong name on the card.

After handing The Black Eyed Peas their gong, Ouali was forced to come back on stage and reveal that the rightful winners were in fact German rockers Tokio Hotel.

The audience roundly booed at Ouali who was presenting the gong with Ke$ha.

Despite the blunder, The Black Eyed Peas scooped the International Song of the Year award for 'I Got A Feeling'.
