THE BRIT Awards are back again tonight, and music fans will be excited to see if they are any shocking moments on the show.
While the award ceremony celebrates musical talent, the event hosted by Jack Whitehall, is also infamous for being host to an array of wild celebrity moments.
As we gear up for the likes of global hitmaker Alex Warren, pop legend Harry Styles and KPop Demon Hunters to take the stage this evening, we take a look back at the wildest moments that took place at the Brits over the years.
Danny Dyer shocked viewers as he dropped the c-word (2025)
EastEnders legend Danny, 48, was chatting with host Jack Whitehall, 37, when he made the X-rated blunder, forcing producers to mute the audio.
The actor was discussing his new film Marching Powder when he struggled to find the right words to describe it without getting himself into trouble.
And, while Danny’s comments didn’t make the airwaves in their entirety, The Sun captured it all from the crowd.
“It’s basically Bridget Jones, but with the word c**t,” he quipped, leaving Jack scrambling to remind him, “Danny, like when I said say anything, not bad words, obviously.”
Producers silenced some of his comments, swiftly cutting to an ad break before things got even worse.
Lewis Capaldi’s sweary speech (2021)
The singer, 29, appeared at the O2 to present the award for British Album of the Year.
However his speech had to be muted due to the amount of swear words he used.
Lewis said to the audience: “Hello motherf***ers! Listen guys… I’m f***ing sweating – it’s like a swamp down there, I’m telling you. Sweaty b****cks.”
He added: “It’s been a great year for albums….
“Most of all because I haven’t f***ing released one!”
The award was given to Dua Lipa for her album ‘Future Nostalgia’.
Jack Whitehall and Little Mix (2019, 2021)
Jack has had a couple of awkward moments with Little Mix at the awards ceremony.
In 2019 he brought up a comment about the girls made by Piers Morgan after they posed nude.
Jack asked Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson and Jade Thirwall: “What would you say to that dutty wasteman?”
The girls were left lost for words, with him adding: “What? I want some beef at some Brits.”
Then in 2021 he chatted to the band again, but this time as a trio after Jesy Nelson left in 2020.
Leigh-Anne and Perrie proudly showed off their growing baby bumps, to which Jack said: “The next question on my card is, “What do you do to pass the time in lockdown?”
“He went there, he actually went there,” Leigh-Anne joked back.
Madonna’s cape fail (2015)
Madonna took a tumble down a flight of stairs at the 2015 awards, she later blamed the fall on the design of the cape she had been wearing.
But the cape’s designer, Giorgio Armani claimed that the cape was originally designed with a hook – but Madonna has requested a tie.
He said: “Madonna, as we all know, is very difficult. That’s all there was to it.”
Liam Gallagher vs. Peter Kay (2010)
At the 2010 ceremony, the Oasis frontman made a surprise appearance to accept his award for Best Brits album of the past 30 years – but then went on to give a rambling and foul-mouthed acceptance speech.
Liam then threw his microphone into the crowd, causing a 10 minute delay.
Host comedian Peter Kay eventually got back on stage where he referred to the Oasis member’s actions by saying: “What a k***head.”
Brian McFadden vs. So Solid Crew (2002)
This may not be on of Brian’s best thought out moments, but reportedly the then-Westlife singer threw a bottle of water over all 24 members of So Solid Crew backstage at the 2002 awards.
Apparently, he’d consumed two bottles of vodka and eight cans of Red Bull before he decided it was a good idea.
We don’t think either of the band’s would have been happy about that.
Robbie Williams vs. Liam Gallagher (2000)
Who could forget the time that Robbie used his acceptance speech to offer Oasis singer Liam Gallagher a fight?
In 2000, Rob famously used his Brit Awards acceptance speech to offer to fight Liam, leading the rocker to call Rob a “fat f***ing idiot”.
Robbie said: “So, anybody like to see me fight Liam?
“Would you pay to come and see it? Liam, a hundred grand of your money and a hundred grand of my money.
“We’ll get in a ring and we’ll have a fight and you can all watch it on TV, what d’you think about that?”
Robbie was quickly escorted away from the stage.
Ronnie Wood and Brandon Block (2000)
In one of the most awkward moments in the history of the Brits, dance DJ Brandon Block was so drunk that when his friends joked that he had won an award he staggered onto stage to accept it – interrupting rock legend Ronnie Wood’s speech.
Brandon was pulled back but broke free from security and squared up to the Rolling Stone’s rocker.
Ronnie then retaliated by throwing a drink in his face.
