The two celebrated with Simon Cowell, who arrived with not one but two of his former girlfriends, as the show scooped the most competitive of the gongs.
Cowell appeared delighted as he accepted the award from former Strictly Come Dancing judge Arlene Phillips.
And he was quick to point out that Strictly had taken the award last year.
He said: 'I'd like you to accept this award with us. There's a certain irony to this. You win last year, you leave, you lose

Cheryl told the audience: 'It's my first time at something like this so I don't really know what to say but thank you to everybody who watches it - thank you so much.'
Dannii said: 'Thank you so much to Simon for making me part of this.'
Cowell then confounded his fellow judges by dedicating the award to his dentist.
After accepting his award, Cowell said the future of the X Factor and Britain's Got Talent was secure for the next three years, and that it would stay on ITV

He also announced that he would be making a song to raise money for the Haiti earthquake appeal.
He said: 'We made the decision today. We had a request from the Prime Minister,
would we put a record together, so we haven't got a lot of time but we are going to do something, and attempt to raise as much money as possible.'
He said that fellow judge Cheryl Cole 'would love' to be part of it.
