Pop star PinkPantheress has been named producer of the year by the Brit Awards ahead of this weekend's ceremony.

The 24-year-old, whose hits include Illegal, Stateside and Boy's A Liar, is the first woman to be given the prize since its inception in 1977.

"I guess it's bittersweet that I'm the first one, the first woman, to get it," she told BBC News.

"As young as I am, it feels almost a bit crazy. Like, I'm not really legendary enough to be receiving it - but you know, I will definitely take it!"

Previous winners of the prize include the Beatles' producer Sir George Martin, Trevor Horn, Brian Eno, the Eurythmics' David Stewart, Calvin Harris and Chase & Status.
