Brit Awards host Jack Whitehall took a playful jab at Kanye West and Bianca Censori during the BRIT Awards, referencing their recent Grammys antics.
The annual music extravaganza was broadcast live from London’s O2 Arena, featuring performances from an array of stars including Sabrina Carpenter, Jade, Sam Fender, and BRITs Rising Star winner Myles Smith. During the event, Jack found himself on the red carpet as his parents were denied entry to the venue due to a supposed “violation of the dress code”.
“I’ve no idea why, Kanye and his wife were allowed,” his mother commented, clad in a black coat, to which Jack retorted: “Yeezy can pull that look off but if he [Jack’s dad] wears sunglasses, he just looks blind.”
Jack then quipped: “I don’t have time for this,” as his mother requested to remove the coat – only to drop it.
Jack humorously remarked: “I’m never going to be able to eat turkey again,” while his mom reassured him it was “nothing you haven’t seen before”. Stay updated with the BRIT Awards on The Mirror’s live blog HERE.
One poignant moment of the BRIT Awards was a tribute to One Direction’s Liam Payne, who tragically passed away last year at 31. The late singer was commemorated with a special tribute following his untimely death, reports the Mirror.
Ahead of the anticipated award show, Jack opened up about Liam’s heartfelt tribute that is included in the program: “It’s really lovely that we have this moment within the show to pay tribute and remember him. I have lots of really great memories of Liam. He was always game for fun. I filmed some sketches with him not everyone is up for that, but he always made time.”
While the segment is poised to be an emotional highlight, Jack isn’t hesitant about poking fun at other celebrities during the ceremony. He revealed the meticulous preparation that goes into crafting the script: “We have this process where we spend four months writing this script and crafting it all and in the rehearsal there’s this moment where we’re finalising it, picking the right jokes and slotting it all into place. Then for the dress rehearsals, I do a dummy script so no one can complain about what I’m saying about their acts. Then on the night, I make sure there are a few surprises for the acts, the record labels and ITV. I like to keep everyone on their toes.”
