Wolf Alice have picked up the 2018 Mercury Prize for their incredible second album, Visions of a Life. “It means so much to pick this up with my three best friends,” said singer Ellie Rowsell.
Following their win, Lily Allen joked that she had been “robbed” shortly after visibly bursting into tears in the crowd.
Someone call 999 I’ve been robbed. https://t.co/3k3KkT51oi

Allen was nominated for her critically-acclaimed album No Shame which she dropped in June after a four-year hiatus.
She applauded the north London four-piece before being comforted by a friend as she began to cry.
Other artists shortlisted for this year’s prize included Nadine Shah, Jorja Smith, Novelist, Sons of Kemet, Florence and the Machine, Everything Everything and Richard Russell.
