If you're looking for an awards show that caters to more than just music fans (and minus all the politics that usually comes with these kinds of events), then look no further than the UK Entertainment Awards. Launched in 2014, the show aims to "celebrate and recognise talents within UK entertainment showcasing creatives in music, comedy, online media and film".

This year's show takes place on Sunday 25th November and sees nominations for the likes of Joivan Wade, Letitia Wright, Ray BLK, Nego True, Chicken Connoisseur, and the Timelin3 show among others, in their respective categories. Previous years have seen names like Asher D, Ms. Banks, Ella Mai and Mo The Comedian attend, proving just how prestigious this ceremony is becoming.
