The biggest talking points from the 2022 Brit Awards
ITV
The eyes and ears of the music world were focused on the O2 last night, with the Brit awards welcoming some of the biggest stars onto the red carpet.
The likes of Adele and Ed Sheeran performed at the event and won a handful of prizes between them in the first year without gender-based categories.
There was plenty of drama too, with Anne-Marie stumbling during her visit to the stage before owning her misstep and getting plenty of support from fans online.
Jack Whitehall was replaced by Mo Gilligan as host this year, with the comedian stepping up to host the star-studded ceremony in the capital.
