THERE were some corking moments during the Brits ceremony on Saturday night but if you weren’t lucky enough to have a ticket to the show, you won’t have seen them.
First up Danny Dyer's expletive laden chat with the brilliant Jack Whitehall was cut, with ITV bosses silencing the audio as he described his new film Marching Powder as “basically Bridget Jones without the word c**t.”
But that wasn’t the only moment which was sanitised for that audience at home.
Sabrina Carpenter's very racy performance included her pretending to perform a sex act.
The sexy routine, which we caught on camera, was missing from the ITV show because it was likely deemed too saucy for fans watching at home.
Elsewhere on the floor the celebs were all up for a big night out, with the champagne flowing across the tables.
The mood, which felt way more fun than in recent years, in my opinion was down to Jack being back in the driving seat for the ceremony.
He is a hilarious comedian and while some of the jokes were close to the knuckle they were well delivered, timely and bloody funny.
When there is so much misery and woe in the world, sometimes you really need to listen to some good music and have a good laugh.
Come back next year, Jack.
It really isn’t the same without you.
Charli's Brat bags Brits
CHARLI XCX had the night of her career at the Brits after picking up five awards – but she still looked as fresh as a daisy when she left Sony’s exclusive after-party.
Our Howell rubbed shoulders with the Brat superstar at the bash at Nobu Portland Square.
Meanwhile, Jack out-stayed Lennon Gallagher and Jess Glynne and Alex Scott at Warner’s after-party at Claridges.
Hold My Hand hitmaker Jess was on top form as she left in the early hours of yesterday morning, which is better than can be said for me.
I had to nail two McDonald’s breakfast meals and have a lunchtime pint of Carling to help me try and feel anywhere close to human again.
Until next year…
It's ale about Sam and his team
AFTER Sam Fender won the Rock/Alternative gong at the Brits the North Shields rocker was in the mood for celebrating.
But rather than leaving the O2 for an after party, insiders told me Sam hung out in his dressing room with his team. “Sam and his team were drinking dark ales in his area backstage,” my mole said.
“When everyone had left the O2, Sam was having a shindig backstage.
“They were cracking open ales until someone knocked on the door and told them it was time to clear out.”
I spotted Sam on the arena floor before he picked up his award from Kasabian legend Serge Pizzorno, and told him how much I loved the record.
He was as gracious and polite as always and our table erupted when we found out he had won.
Congratulations, Sam.
What a night.
What a Ryde, Sam
SAM RYDER was living his best life at Universal’s official after party at 180 Studios.
I spotted Sam grinding on the dancefloor in the VIP area with girlfriend Lois Gaskin-Barber.
While on the other side of the room was Gene Gallagher, son of Oasis rocker Liam Gallagher, and his All Saints singer mum Nicole Appleton.
Along with Sam and Lois, they all had a great night dancing together.
Elsewhere, my moles spotted Rachel Chinouriri getting a helping hand backstage with her attire.
I’m told Rachel had a pal on hand to carry the train of her gorgeous green dress throughout the red carpet and ceremony.
Now that is what I call a good and dedicated friend.
Jade hits the decks at Nobu
JADE THIRLWALL celebrated her win for Best Pop by partying late into the night at Sony’s lavish after-show bash and made an impromptu trip to the DJ booth.
She sang along to her singles Angel Of My Dreams and Fantasy as the guests danced along - with her No1 fan, and boyfriend, Jordan Stephens, being front and centre where he belted out every lyric.
Jade looked like she was having the time of her life at the knees-up at Nobu Hotel Portman Square, having smashed her performance earlier in the evening, where she had risen into the sky with angel wings.
She had been in rehearsals for weeks so it’s no wonder she was keen to finally let her hair down.
And as an extra treat, she, along with the other partygoers, got a goody bag packed with premium beauty products and goodies from Ray Ban and Dr Martens. Quids in.
CHAPPELL ROAN is in the race for the No1 spot in the Official Singles Chart after winning International Artist of the Year and International Song of the Year for Good Luck, Babe!.
Her track Pink Pony Club is battling against Kendrick Lamar's Not Like Us, just 1,300 units behind.
Beating acts like Beyonce and Taylor Swift is no mean feat, so she is already acing it.
