K-pop superstars BTS have won big at the BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards as they were named best international group and social media stars.

The seven-piece boy band, who in May this year released their third studio album Love Yourself: Tear, appeared via videolink to accept the two awards.

It comes after the group secured the award for choice international artists at last year’s event.

A hole opened up beside her to bring the winners up, but Collins did not appear to notice and slipped, taking a nasty tumble into the hole.
