BRIT Awards viewers were left shocked after broadcaster ITV failed to censor a joke made on the show. One viewer commented: "thoughts and prayers to the 'Audio Muted' team".
The comment, made by actress and writer Daisy May Cooper, was at the expense of chart-topping group the Sugababes. The BBC This Country star and Sky Never Mind The Buzzcocks team captain made the jibe while presenting an award. However, ITV was too slow on the censor button to bleep out the joke and the comment aired - much to the surprise of viewers of Saturday's broadcast.
Daisy was presenting an award to the 1975 for best alternative or rock act. However, in the run-up to handing over the accolade to Matty Healy, the 36-year-old star remarked that earlier in the night, she was in the bathroom when she saw the Sugababes.
