You'd have thought the 17-year-old would have been too young to be a fan of the American teen sitcom - but that didn't stop him wearing the top, which showed Thiessen in character as high school student Kelly Kapowski.

Justin also scooped the honour for favourite artist by ordinary Canadians, adding yet more awards to his growing trophy collection.

The singer was voted the most popular international artist in the fan category, while also taking home the best international video for Judas.

However, she put in a relatively low-key claim for the fashion crown, wearing outfits which by her standards were somewhat conservative.

She completed the look with her now trademark turquoise wig and a pair of bondage-style knee-high boots.

The Telephone singer later posed for photographers, adding to her ensemble a towering pair of platforms, a blue blazer and a colourful pair of tights.

Gomez proved a successful host for the night, having bounced back to health following her recent hospital dash, which she later revealed was down to malnutrition.

On accepting her prestigious role as the event's co-host, Selena recently told the Toronto Herald: 'It's exciting and scary at the same time because (Wizards) was my safety net.

'That's all I really know so it'll be interesting to detach from that and be on my own.'

Selena has had a rocky few weeks after she fell ill and was admitted into hospital for 24 hours with malnutrition last week.
