Ellie was blowing the star kisses from her table as he went on to explain how she had been a pillar of his recent success.
He said: 'I want to thank Ellie Goulding, wherever she is. Ellie, I wouldn't be on this stage this year if it wasn't for you.
'What you brought to Miracle was absolutely unbelievable. I couldn't have done it with anybody else in this room, so thank you.'
The ceremony was hosted by Maya Jama, Roman Kemp and Clara Amfo, and will also feature a series of guest presenters throughout.
Dua Lipa opened the show with Mastercard while Kylie Minogue will give the closing performance.
Ellie Goulding and Calvin Harris, Raye and Becky Hill with Chase & Status will also take to the stage.

The British singer, 26, is up for Album Of The Year for her long-awaited debut album My 21st Century Blues. Her third single, Escapism, is nominated for Song of the Year.
Raye is also included in the five strong Best New Artist category and will also compete as a nominee in the categories for R&B Act and Pop Act.
She has beat reigning champions Craig David, Robbie Williams and the Gorillaz who all had been nominated for six awards in previous years.
The non-gendered Artist Of The Year Award sparked outrage last year, after it replaced individual Male and Female categories, but then failed to include any female or non-binary artists among its five nominations.
This year however, thanks in part to the category being doubled in size, there are six female nominees out of the 10, including Raye.
Arlo Parks, Jessie Ware, Lil Simz, Olivia Sims and Dua Lipa make up the female nominees, while Central Cee, Dave, J. Hus and Fred Again... are also nominated.
The British Phonograph Industry - who organize the annual event - admit gender balance has been readdressed following last year's controversial decision.
Big hitters Kylie Minogue, Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey and Miley Cyrus have been nominated for International Artist of the Year.
