The awards – voted for by the public – were unveiled at a star-studded ceremony in front of 500 Radio 1 listeners.

AJ Tracey, Jax Jones and Yungblud all performed at the show
BBC young sports personality of the year was revealed to be 18-year-old boxer Caroline Dubois, who hopes to compete at the Olympics in Tokyo next year.
The Radio 1 teen heroes were recognised too – from the ten finalists, the top three were Rachel, 17, Scarlett, 14 and Hazel, 12.
They were surprised on Saturday with a special performance from Bastille in the Radio 1 Live Lounge.
Previously, they’d gone with the other finalists to Buckingham Palace with Camila Cabello to meet the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Rachel is a volunteer for her local youth council and a member of the UK Youth Parliament, and has won a Diana Award for her work towards tackling cyberbullying.
She also chairs the UK Youth Select Committee, which this year has focussed on knife crime.
“When I found out [I was a teen hero] I was very, very surprised,” she tells Radio 1 Newsbeat.
“I was also really happy as well, when I found out that we would be going to the palace and we would be meeting Will and Kate.”
She adds: “I spoke to them about how I got a Diana award for being an anti-bullying champion. And obviously, that was something that William was really passionate about.”
Rachel, Scarlett and Hazel the this year’s teen heroes
Scarlett is a young carer to her mum, older sister and granny.
Both Scarlett and her mum have an incurable nerve condition called HNPP, which can make everyday activities like carrying shopping bags extremely painful.
“It was overwhelming and you kind of question why people would think it was a heroic act,” she says about finding out that she’d been named a teen hero.
“Those are just things that you’d normally do for your family. So it’s not really something you expect to be awarded for.”

Love Island’s Amber and Ovie were at the Teen Awards
Hazel lives with a rare genetic disorder called Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP) which limits the body’s ability to repair damage caused by UV light.
She’s since learnt how to manage the condition safely in her daily life, and raises awareness through campaigns such as climbing the 900m Ben Lomond mountain in Scotland and giving talks to schools.
“I didn’t really think that I was actually going to win,” she says.
“But when I found out I was jumping about. I was really excited.”
