Jack Whitehall made a dig at Kanye West and Bianca Censori at the BRIT Awards this evening after their Grammys stunt.
The annual music ceremony was streamed live from the O2 Arena in London, with the likes of Sabrina Carpenter, Jade, Sam Fender and BRITs Rising Star winner Myles Smith all performing at the star-studded event.
On the show tonight, Jack headed out to the red carpet as his parents "weren't being allowed into the venue". He said they were told they were "violating the dress code" and thus couldn't enter.
"I've no idea why, Kanye and his wife were allowed," his mum said, draped in a black coat, whilst Jack replied: "Yeezy can pull that look off but if he [Jack's dad] wears sunglasses, he just looks blind."
Jack then added: "I don't have time for this," as his mum asked to take the coat off - before dropping it. Jack then joked: "I'm never going to be able to eat turkey again," as his mum said it was "nothing you haven't seen before".
One of the key moments of the BRIT Awards is a tribute to One Direction star Liam Payne, who sadly died last year at the age of 31. The singer was honoured with a special tribute following his sad death.
Speaking ahead of the ceremony, Jack said of Liam's tribute: "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."
Whilst that moment was particularly heart wrenching, Jack isn't worried about taking aim at other celebrities during the event.
He explained to us: "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."
