The event was due to start at 8pm but fans that waited on its live stream waited as the YouTube video said the 'event will start soon' despite many moments having passed.

The MOBO Awards, taking place at Utilita Arena in Newcastle, is hosted by Love Island icon Indiyah Polack and comedian Eddie Kadi.
Iconic musician Vybz Kartel was also awarded the MOBO Impact Award almost a year after the star was released from prison following a murder charge being overturned.
Fans tuning into the MOBO Awards were confused as the start time of the event was delayed on its online stream.
