Last night saw a return to live music, with the BRIT Awards kicking off at London's O2 Arena. There were incredible performances from the likes of Dua Lipa, Headie One and Olly Alexander. But it was also a night to spot some famous faces we haven't seen in a while, including Lewis Capaldi - who presented Best British Album award to Dua Lipa.
As bosses should have perhaps anticipated, Lewis has never been someone to sanitise what he says - after all, it's one of the reasons people love him so much - and so he swore a lot, meaning most of his speech was muted when it was broadcast on TV. It was basically just one big warped "Audio Muted" noise. So, we've done some investigating and found out what he actually said...
"Hello motherf--kers,' he said, adding, "I’m f--king sweating. It’s like a swamp down there – sweaty bollocks. It's great to be here tonight, it's just great to be out of the house to be honest."
He then made a self-deprecating joke, adding, "It's been a great year for albums, most of all because I haven't f--king released one." Lewis then made a joke about Scotland winning Euro 2020, which got some boos from the audience. "I didn't f--ing write it,' he then exclaimed. "I'm just doing a job."

It was an iconic and incredibly chaotic BRITs moment. And while some viewers expectedly didn't find his behaviour that funny, many thought it was hilarious.
"Lewis Capaldi’s ‘HELLO MOTHERFU-audio muted IM SO FUC-audio muted’ is how the BRITs is supposed to be," one wrote. Another said, "Just SCREAMED at them having to mute the entire of what just came out of Lewis Capaldi’s mouth."
And as music journalist Peter Robinson added, "Lewis Capaldi to host next year." Let's face it, it wouldn't be boring.

Elsewhere at the BRITs, Little Mix made history as they became the first ever female act to take home the Best British Group gong and they proved their was no bad blood with Jesy Nelson as they thanked their former bandmate in their acceptance speech.
Leigh-Anne Pinnock began, "We have been together for 10 years. It’s been the best years of our lives. We’ve gone through so much. We’ve had so much fun and made so many incredible memories. We want to start by thanking our incredible fans, of course Jesy, and our amazing team.
"It’s not easy being a female in the UK pop industry. We’ve seen white male dominance, misogyny, sexism and lack of diversity. We’re proud of how we’ve stuck together, stood our ground, surrounded ourselves with strong women and are now using our voices more than ever.”
Jade Thirlwall continued, "The fact that a girl band has never won this award really does speak volumes. So this award isn’t just for us, it’s for the Spice Girls, Sugababes, All Saints, Girls Aloud, all of the incredible female bands - this one’s for you, girls."
