Luke Littler<\/a> joined glam girlfriend Faith Millar for a rare red carpet appearance at the BRIT Awards<\/a>\u00a0at Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena on Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The darts champion, 19, opted for an all black ensemble with a polo shirt which he teamed with trousers and trainers.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Faith, also 19, who has been dating the\u00a0World Masters champ since last summer, was also dressed in black.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0beautician slipped into a figure-hugging black gown and added extra sparkle with gold jewellery and a matching clutch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Luke and Faith put on a loved-up display as they cosied up on the red carpet ahead of the star-studded ceremony.<\/p>\n

Since removing gendered categories, such as Best Male and Best Female, the ceremony has faced backlash for the low number of female artists nominated, particularly in 2023 when the Artist Of The Year shortlist was entirely male.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Luke <\/p>\n

Luke Littler joined glam girlfriend Faith Millar, both 19, for a rare red carpet appearance at the BRIT Awards at Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena on Saturday.<\/p>\n

But 2026 will ring in the changes, with 70 percent of this year’s nominations being female or non-binary.<\/p>\n

Lola Young and Olivia Dean lead the nominations with five each, closely followed by comeback queen Lily Allen<\/a>, who has been recognised in three categories for her critically acclaimed fifth album, West End Girl.<\/p>\n

The singer, 40, used the album to chronicle the collapse of her marriage to Stranger Things<\/a> star David Harbour<\/a> and his alleged infidelities while they were together.<\/p>\n

She will go up against both Young and Dean for Artist Of The Year at the ceremony, while also competing for Album Of The Year and Pop Act.<\/p>\n

Lola, 24, is also up for Breakthrough Artist and Alternative\/Rock Act, but it is unknown if she will attend the ceremony.<\/p>\n

Following the announcement, she said: ‘Five BRIT nominations, how is this even possible? I’ve had this dream a thousand times, so I’m slightly convinced that my alarm clock is about to wake me up.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Seriously, this means so much to me. I am so grateful for this moment and to be nominated alongside the incredible other nominees.’<\/p>\n

Olivia,\u00a026, became the first woman to claim the UK’s No 1 single and album in the same week since Adele in 2021, with her song Man I Need and album The Art Of Loving, both released in 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Meanwhile <\/p>\n

Meanwhile Faith who has been dating the World Masters champ since last summer, was also dressed in black<\/p>\n

She has been nominated in five categories and will be performing at the Award ceremony.<\/p>\n

‘To go from being a student of The BRIT School in the crowd to being a performer 10 years later is really crazy, and I’m so excited to see everyone in Manchester,’ the singer shared in January.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, British rapper Dave has been recognised in three categories: Artist Of The Year, Album Of The Year, and Hip Hop\/Grime\/Rap Act.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old released his third studio album, The Boy Who Played The Harp, in 2025 and has since become the first British rap artist to debut three albums at number one in the UK’s official chart.<\/a><\/p>\n

Raye has been recognised in just one category this year, after scooping a record-breaking six awards last year.<\/p>\n

The singer, 28, scooped the first gong presented on the night, Song of the Year for her hit Escapism ft 070 Shake, shortly before also taking home the R&B Act gong and Best New Artist.\u00a0<\/p>\n
