London, 13th March 2016 – One Direction proved that they are still top for UK kids as they won UK Favourite Music Act and UK Favourite Music Video at Nickelodeon’s 2016 Kids’ Choice Awards. This year marks the fourth year in a row that the boys have won a blimp for favourite music act, group or band.
Other UK winners at this year’s Kids’ Choice Awards included Andy Murray (UK Favourite Sports Star) and Cherry Wallis who received the blimp for UK Favourite Breakthrough Vlogger. The Diamond Mine Cart won UK Favourite Tipster for the second year in a row while Grumpy Cat proved the best in her ‘cat’egory winning UK Favourite Famous Cat. Fans of Justin Bieber, The Beliebers, won UK Favourite Fan Family.
In acknowledgement of his outstanding athletic career, Mo Farah was presented with an honorary Kids’ Choice Award for UK Inspirational Athlete. Farah’s sliming by daughters Aisha, Amani and Rhianna was shown as part of the Awards.
Broadcast from the "Fabulous" Forum in Inglewood, California, this year's festivities kicked off with host Blake Shelton getting hosting pep talks from celebrity friends including Adam Levine, Pharrell Williams, Nick Jonas, Selena Gomez, Chewbacca and BB-8. After being alerted that the Stormtroopers were trying to take over the 2016 Kids' Choice Awards, Shelton jumped into action and battled his way onto the show stage via a super-charged chair from The Voice.
During the show, singer-songwriter Charlie Puth and hip-hop star Wiz Khalifa performed a medley of "One Call Away" and "See You Again," right before taking home the blimp for Favourite Collaboration. DNCE closed the show with a performance of their chart-topping single "Cake by the Ocean" that culminated with an ultimate slime dousing of the audience.
The 2016 Kids' Choice Awards proved to be a mega-slime fest, from kids in the audience awarding Shelton with an epic finale sliming, to Henry Danger star Jace Norman dumping a bucket of green goo on John Stamos, to Fifth
Harmony getting drenched after their win for Favourite Music Group, and Shelton welcoming Jason Sudeikis and Josh Gad to the ‘green side.’
Kids paid tribute to their favourites by casting across seven UK specific and additional international categories online, on Nick Play and via Twitter using the hashtag #KCA. Fans can catch up on all of the gossip from the slime- fest by going to kca.nick.co.uk, the official destination for everything Kids’ Choice Awards, with hilarious videos, photo galleries, games and all of the latest KCA news on this year’s show.
