Headline: BRIT winner Raye 'begged agent not to give up on her'

Caption: The Love Me Again singer, who swept the board at the BRIT awards, winning six gongs, has told how her career was in the doldrums last year. "I'm just happy to be here: 18 months ago my career had gone to s**t," she told The Times. "I remember seeing my live agent at a gig. I went up to him, with tears in my eyes, and begged him not to give up on me. I told him I had more fight in me. A week later he set up this tiny tour."
