dailystar.co.uk:

BRIT Awards are upon us and excitement is at fever-pitch to see who will be the recipients of this year's gongs.As we prepare to pay homage to some of the UK's most talented British musicians, it’s no secret that the long string of celebs to take on the coveted hosting gig have often stolen the headlines away from the award-winners with their cut-throat jokes and wild antics.Let’s take a look back at the best, worst and most memorable BRIT Awards hosts - from Peter Kay calling Liam Gallagher a "k**b*ead" live on stage to Russell Brand alleging former Prime minister David Cameron smoked drugs as a schoolboy.The comedian and actor made it clear he was taking no prisoners when he presented the awards in 2021.The savage comic immediately took a swipe at "unemployed" Piers Morgan after his Good Morning Britain exit before mercilessly mocking Rita Ora, Niall Horan and Little Mix.Taking a swipe at former Good Morning Britain Presenter Piers in his opening speech, Jack told the 4,000-strong audience: "I cannot tell you how grateful we are to be here tonight for the first live event back in the 02 arena."This venue has been emptier than Piers Morgan's diary."He joked: "To ensure a reduced capacity we billed this as a Niall Horan gig."Introducing pregnant Leigh-Anne and Perrie, he added: "These girls are so in sync they can even harmonise their pregnancies." Rita Ora was also the subject of Jack’s jibes after the popstar flouted Covid lockdown rules when she threw herself a 30th birthday party.2012 brought perhaps the most controversial BRIT Awards moment to date when actor James Corden hit the headlines for interrupting megastar Adele mid-speech as she accepted her award for Best British Album.The singer was clearly upset by this.
