Becky Hill is kicking herself for fumbling her acceptance speech at the Brit Awards on Saturday night after scooping the Best Dance Act gong.
The 28-year-old chart topping star appeared shocked and overwhelmed when footballer Alex Scott and comedienne Emily Atack announced her as the winner of the award at the star studded event - crowning her Best Dance Act for the second year in a row.
And taking to the stage, the former The Voice contestant choked up as she thanked her fellow nominees.
But in the winners room at the ceremony, Becky shared her fear that her speech hadn’t been good enough before explaining how proud she is to be flying the flag for women in music.
Discussing her main show acceptance speech with the Mirror from the winner's room, Becky said: “I feel like I f***ed it right up.
“I want to check Twitter to see what people I’ve never met before’s opinions are on it. It’s a lot.
“I’ve just had one of those days today where nothing was going right and I was sat at the tables and I thought ‘I’ve got this one I’ve got a feeling’ which is weird because I have the best feelings in the world so I don’t know why I doubted them.”
Becky then took a moment to reflect on her growing career which has been over a decade in the making - having first appeared on The Voice in 2012 and then churning out music in the years following with her debut album finally getting released in 2021.
She said: “We're the first female resident in Ibiza and there aren't any female residents anywhere and it's a real big shame. And I think, you know, this is this is bigger than me and I think that this is a really good step forward.
“Another great step forward for women in dance music. And [fellow Best Dance Act nominee] Eliza Rose gets a huge shoutout because she’s sick and it’s great to be up there with her.”
During the main Brit Awards ceremony, Becky turned the air blue when she took to the stage to accept her gong.
She said: “Wow it's heavy” before declaring: “S*** I did have something planned [to say]”.
Becoming emotional, and choking back tears, Becky strived to thank her fellow nominee - who were Bonobo, Calvin Harris, Eliza Rose and Fred Again.
She said: “I want to thank the Brits committee for putting me on the shortlist of the dance act for another year.
“It is such an honour to be nominated especially alongside the amazing Eliza Rose.”
Becky’s words on both the Brits main stage and the winners room are poignant as women were excluded from the British Artist of the Year award - which was ultimately won by Harry Styles.
A backlash was ignited last month when the shortlist was revealed - with not a woman in sight.
A Brits spokesperson feebily said at the time: “While it’s disappointing there are no nominations in the artist of the year category, we also have to recognise that 2022 saw fewer high profile women artists in cycle with major releases as was the case in 2021.”
