Lady Gaga has clung on to her pop crown, by sweeping the board at the Virgin Media Music Awards.

The Born This Way star's fans, aka Little Monsters, helped her win five gongs, including Best Album, Female and Hottest Female.

Despite Adele's record Grammy success, her album 21 came second in the Best Album rankings, behind Gaga's Born This Way.

Gaga beat sex symbols Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Rihanna and Cheryl Cole to the title of Hottest Female in the online awards, voted for by over 1.5 million people.

She also won Best Video and Best Track for her hit single Born This Way.

Sir Cliff Richard proved he still has what it takes after being named Legend Of The Year with over 60% of the votes. The Summer Holiday singer is set to perform at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Concert later this year.

Best Collaboration went to the late Amy Winehouse and crooner Tony Bennett.
