One Direction were the star turn at the American Music Awards in Los Angeles last night, where they were lucky enough to take home three prizes.

The Brit boys took the artist of the year, favourite band, duo or group and favourite album gongs in the pop/rock categories.

And as they collected the third, Liam Payne gushed: "This is so amazing, I can't believe we've won three and one of them is artist of the year.

"It's amazing because we've worked so hard on these last two albums, I mean we spent a lot of time writing the music and going down and really trying our hardest to really improve and make the music better and better."

The night's other big winner, Katy Perry, was unable to attend due to her touring schedule but sent a video message from Australia.

She won favourite pop/rock female artist, favourite adult contemporary artist and single of the year for Dark Horse.

British star Sam Smith beat Pharrell Williams and John Legend to take the favourite male artist (pop/rock) award - and commented: "Genuinely from my heart, I didn't think I was going to be winning. This is unreal."

There were two awards for Iggy Azalea - who won favourite artist and favourite album for The New Classic - both in the rap/hip-hop categories.

And pop's woman of the moment Taylor Swift didn't go home empty-handed either, taking the Dick Clark Award For Excellence with her.
