Sam Smith has admitted that if he wins any Grammy Awards this coming weekend, he won't let his mum near any of them.

Nominated for six prizes at the annual ceremony, he's eager to protect any he takes home and if he does win, will only let his mum "touch it once".

Speaking to ET Canada he said: "People would say, 'Are you going to give them [the trophies] to your mom?' and I would be like, 'No.' It doesn't have her name on it. She can touch it once."

Along with nods in both Best Pop Performance and Best New Artist, Sam's up for the coveted Album of the Year award for his debut LP 'In The Lonely Hour', and Sam admits he'd be "weirded out" if Beyoncé didn't scoop the latter prize for her fifth self-titled record.

"If I was to win [Album of the Year], I would be very weirded out. I just think Beyonce is going to get it. Her album is incredible."

The star added that he feels "honoured" to be in the same group as the likes of Beyoncé and Pharrell Williams with the most nominations of any artists this year.

"It's a little odd for me. They have been around for a long, long time and for me to get the same amount of nominations as them for my first record is crazy. I am just honoured."

The 57th Annual Grammy Awards will be broadcast exclusively on 4Music in the UK at 9pm on Monday February 9.
