Soon afterwards, Bez went on to take hold of the microphone and address the crowd.“Rita, let me tell you how lovely you are.
You make everyone so welcome, you are a special lady,” he said, while the host burst into laughter. “Rita Ora, everyone. make some noise!”Bez also held the microphone while Ora introduced him to one of the night’s winners, Benson Boone, and the Happy Mondays star shared some words of praise for the ‘Beautiful Things’ singer.He then continued to hold the microphone and talk to the crowd, while Ora jokingly wrestled it back from him to introduce K-Pop band LE SSERAFIM for their live performance on the night.
