In other news, last year’s BRITs saw big wins for Harry Styles, Wet Leg, The 1975 and Fontaines D.C..
During the ceremony, Gilligan sparked confusion while introducing “Sam Capaldi” and viewers criticised Tom Grennan for comments he made on stage about Ellie Goulding’s breasts.
Sam Smith and Kim Petras followed their controversial Grammys performance with a leather-filled version of ‘Unholy’ (which sparked over 100 Ofcom complaints), and Fontaines D.C.’s Carlos O’Connell celebrated “friendship” as he collected the band’s award for Best International Group.
