SCOTS indie rocker Jon Fratelli stunned a plumber by handing him his Brit award.

The frontman, 38, told how he gave away his first major music gong as a tip after the tradesman did some work on his house.

And he revealed he has no recollection of winning it for being the best new act in Britain because he was so blitzed.

He said: “We had a hell of a lot to drink that night and my memory of it is completely gone. I gave the actual award statue to somebody but I could not tell you his name.

“All I know is my Brit award has gone to the plumber.

“There was a period where I’d just hand things to people, including my platinum discs.

“They seemed to mean more to them than they did to me. To me, the accomplishment was getting to do what we do.”

The singer took to the stage with Fratellis bandmates Mince and Barry to collect the Best British Breakthrough award from Pulp legend Jarvis Cocker.

But his only memory of the 2007 bash at London’s Earl’s Court is from snaps of the trio with the gong.

Glasgow-born Jon, real name John Lawler, added: “The Brit had no effect on me. I don’t use those things to measure how happy I am.
