Brit awards 2022 – as it happened

And that is all from us

I can’t tell whether that seemed to go incredibly fast or last a million years. It’s hard to resume normal mental function post-liveblog and not contrive comment on everything in sight. “This toothbrush has nothing on Jack Whitehall, etc etc.” (Clearly, tonight has lasted a million years.)

Anyway, thanks for joining me and Elle for a very strange Brits. We have the strange predicament of a largely great class of winners coupled with a pretty boring event. Good performances from Little Simz and Dave for sure, but a distinct lack of excitement otherwise, and a serious downturn in hosting from the Whitehall era. Maybe one day they’ll get it right! Until then, we’re off to simmer down from all the moderate pop excitement with an episode of Cheers. The Brits’ best single has nothing on Gary Portnoy. Goodnight!

In case you want a souvenir, the Brits’ first NFT collection is on sale from tomorrow. Bagsy that triumphant Anne-Marie recovery.
