Idris Elba suffers embarrassing Brit Awards wardrobe malfunction

Idris Elba was spotted with his jeans unzipped while on stage at the Brit Awards last night.

The actor and DJ attended the awards ceremony to present an award at London's 02 Arena on Tuesday evening.

He looked trendy and cool for the event as he wore a pink bomber jacket emblazoned with Gucci across the chest.

Under the jacket, he wore a black T-shirt and jeans and sunglasses to match.

He strutted onto the stage to announce the nominees and then winner for the Mastercard Album of the Year - but had apparently failed to notice that his jeans zip was down.

Idris announced Adele as the winner of the award before covering his crotch with his placards hiding the clothing malfunction.

While he may have taken a while to notice, fans were on the ball and took to Twitter to share what they had seen.

Benjamin said: "Award for wearing sunglasses in the toilet before you come on stage with your fly undone goes too @idriselba #brits2022 #brits."

Sidders said: "Idris Elba on the brits with his fly down….."

Chris said: "Anyone else notice Idris Elba had his fly undone when presenting the award! #BRITs"

Another user said: "No one think to tell Idris Elba his flies were down before he went on stage nah #brits #brits2022."
