Melanie C triumphed on Friday night as she led the celebrity winner at the British LGBT Awards at The Brewery in London.

Hosted by TV presenter Gok Wan, 46, and Ru Paul's Drag Race UK winner, Lawrence Chaney, 24, the event celebrated leading LGBT+ activists, allies and celebrity figures who have worked to advance the rights of LGBT+ people during the past 12 months.

Our very own Spice Girl won the Celebrity Ally award. Having worked closely with drag collective Sink the Pink, the singer has been vocal about what a privilege it is to spend time in queer, trans and non-binary spaces.

The pop icon beat off competition from the likes of Michelle Visage, 52, and popular host Dermot O'Leary, 48, to take home the trophy.
