Scotland-born Tom Walker will likely be nursing a sore head tomorrow after being named Best Breakthrough Act at the Brit Awards .
The Leave a Light On singer vowed to have a boozy celebration if he won his nomination.
Asked how he was going to mark his big achievement, Tom, 27, said: “By getting bang on it, mate.
“We are going to have a couple of beers. It’s the first day in ages where I’ve been drinking and had the next day off.”
The honour is sure to have gone down a storm in Cumbernauld , where Tom’s biggest fan – his 81-year-old gran Sadie, 81 – was watching on TV.
Tom’s big hit took off after being played on ITV’s Love Island, topping charts in 20 countries.

He regards himself as both Scottish and Mancunian after being born north of the Border before being brought up down south.
Fellow Scot Calvin Harris also won big.
One Kiss – the Dumfries DJ’s collaboration with Dua Lipa – was named Best British Single.
Calvin, 35, also took the Brit for Best Producer.
The Scot performed One Kiss with Dua Lipa, 23, at the ceremony, along with a £77,000 giant dancing crab and an oriental dragon.
Hollywood star Hugh Jackman kicked off the awards bash with the Greatest Show from his hit musical The Greatest Showman.
