Lady Gaga cleaned up at the 30th annual Shit Awards show in London last night, where she won a hat-trick of statuettes.

The expletive-laden Shit Awards also saw Lily Allen land on stage astride a replica bomb to the sound of air raid sirens. After being named Female Shit, she swore as a horn sounded from beyond the stage during her acceptance speech.

Rap star Dizzee Rascal was named male Shit, telling the audience: “It’s about time as well,” as he collected his award. US rapper Jay-Z won the prize for international male Shit. Rockers Kasabian were named Shittest group, while Florence And The Machine picked up the Shittest album award for Lungs.

It was also a successful night for JLS who collected the award for Shittest breakthrough act, then the statuette for Shittest single for Beat Again.

Two special Shit categories were created to celebrate the best of the Shits over the past 30 years. The Spice Girls’ 1997 performance of their hits Wannabe and Who Do You Think You Are took the Shittest performance award while (What’s the Story) Morning Glory by Oasis was named Shittest album since the ceremony began.

The night climaxed with a performance by Robbie Williams as he collected the award for outstandingly Shit contribution to music. The beaming singer said: “It feels really good up here, Shits. Thank you so much.”

The only Shits missing from the occasion were obvious Shit contenders, N-Dubz.
