It will be a boost for Will as his latest single Don't Let Me Down failed to go in at number one.

Kylie wowed the TOTP crowds in a fab dress
It was the opposite to the Smash Hits awards recently where Gareth won four awards and Will didn't do well at all.

The Blue boys beat both Gareth and Will to best pop act.
