Earlier the singer broke down in tears as her song The Fear scooped major prizes at the Ivor Novello Awards yesterday.

The tune won both the PRS for Music most performed work award as well as best song musically and lyrically.

Earlier as she arrived for the London ceremony, Lily confessed she still regards her songs as 'nursery rhymes'.

The star was wearing a long primrose-coloured gown and holding her four-year-old sister Teddy Rose in her arms.

She also won the award for best songwriter, along with Greg Kurstin, who she has worked with on some of her songs.

Teddy and Lily share the same father - comedian Keith Allen. Teddy's mother is actress Tamzin Malleson.

Lily admitted: 'I still just kind of think my songs are like nursery rhymes - little ditties. We'll see what happens.'

Asked backstage if her Novello success would make her reconsider plans to retire, she shook her head and said: 'I don't know about that.'

The former Smiths guitarist has formed collaborations with Billy Bragg, the Pet Shop Boys and Bryan Ferry as well as being associated with Modest Mouse, Electronic and The Cribs.

He was hugged by Noel Gallagher as he walked to the stage to pick up his gong.

He said of his career: 'I sincerely hope that there will be a lot more twists and turns because that's what I like to do.

'I believe that rock music and pop music is an art form.'

Nutini said: 'It was an honour to be nominated in the first place.'

Bat For Lashes song Daniel won best contemporary song.

The song's writer Natasha Khan said: 'I'm so shocked, thank you.

'Who would have thought that when I was sitting in my pyjamas in my bed writing this song, I would be standing here?'
