The Brit Awards 2026 featured an awkward moment where I’m A Celebrity star Angry Ginge’s comment was censored during the live ITV broadcast, but fans worked out what was said.
The audience at the Brit Awards ceremony were left in shock after I’m A Celebrity winner Angry Ginge ‘swore’ while presenting an award. The streamer took to the stage to hand out an award, but as he started talking, the audio cut out.
It became clear that Morgan Burtwistle was being censored. On stage with him was Darts champion Luke Littler, who appeared awkward about it, and said: “Okay…” before moving things on. Angry Ginge appeared to smirk, as though he wasn’t meant to say what he did.
Those in the venue at the Co-op Live in Manchester witnessed the moment and heard what was actually said, while fans at home also believed they had figured it out. Taking to X, they all commented the same thing, appearing to figure out what he’d said that got bleeped out, reports the Mirror.
Taking to social media, one fan said: “Angry Ginge just called London a s******e and it got bleeped.” Another added: “They cut Angry Ginge saying London is a s******e. Once again the truth is censored.”
A third continued: “angry ginge saying the brits are in manchester bc london is a s******e is so real.” A fourth fan posted: “Angry Ginge deffo said ‘London is a s******e’ and they censored it.” The Mirror was in attendance and has confirmed this was the case.
Ahead of Saturday night, it was revealed that tributes would be made to some of the music artists that have recently passed away. Ozzy Osbourne is set to be honoured with Robbie Williams fronting a super group paying tribute to the star. It comes seven months after the Black Sabbath frontman died aged 76.
The performance will be a special arrangement of ‘No More Tears’ – the title track from Ozzy’s multi-million selling 1991 album of the same name. It was curated by Ozzy’s wife, Sharon Osbourne, and will boast a phenomenal line up of British and international musical talent.
It will feature musicians who played as part of Ozzy’s band over the years, including Adam Wakeman, Robert Trujillo, Tommy Clufetos and Zakk Wylde. The makeshift group will be fronted by Robbie, who was invited personally by Sharon to be part of this special moment.
BRIT Awards bosses are also set to honour Stone Roses bassist Mani at Saturday night’s show – led by Charlatans legend Tim Burgess. Gary ‘Mani’ Mounfield died suddenly aged 63 last November, and close pal Tim will be on hand to deliver an emotional speech.
A source said: “Tim is set to present the In Memoriam section, but before he does so, he is primed to talk about Mani who was both a dear friend and mentor. The fact that Mani was from Manchester too – and the awards is being held there for the first time – means it will be a really special moment. Mani will then feature heavily in the section, as will other greats we have lost including Ozzy Osbourne.”
