There were many of odd moments during this year’s Brit Awards, but Daisy May Cooper’s quip about spotting the Sugababes not using cocaine in the bathroom may have taken the cake.
The This Country singer, who had earlier warned that she would ‘get dirty’ during the award presentation, looked to keep her word in the most hilarious way imaginable.
While presenting the best alternative rock award, which went to The 1975, the 36-year-old stated that she had seen the Sugababes earlier in the night while in the restroom.
‘And they weren’t doing coke – they were lovely,’ she then added, much the audience’s shock.
Despite the fact that the 2023 ceremony was broadcast live on ITV, it looked that the broadcaster or those in charge of the event attempted to censor Daisy by muting her microphone the moment they saw the path her joke was taking.
However, they did not arrive quickly enough, as many people heard her wisecrack.
‘Thoughts and prayers to the “Audio Muted” team failing to mute Daisy May Cooper talking about the Sugababes in the toilets,’ one person tweeted.
‘Daisy May Cooper saying “don’t worry about the Sugababes they weren’t doing coke.” Got me screamin’ why was that blurred out?’ another asked.
Someone else suggested Daisy host the programme next year, following two years with The Masked Singer UK judge Mo Gilligan at the helm.
‘Can we have Daisy May Cooper present every award next year,’ another individual suggested after watching the hilarity of the situation play out.
‘Daisy May Cooper doesn’t give a single f**k,’ a fan of hers quipped, with another person adding: ‘Ahahahaha Daisy May Cooper f**king love her.’
Earlier in the evening, the Sugababes walked the red carpet in some stylish ensembles, with Keisha Buchanan choosing an enormous pinstriped suit.
Mutya Buena went for a sleek black cut-out dress, while Siobhán Donaghy went for a power suit style in magenta.
Harry Styles was the night’s main winner, taking home all four prizes for which he was nominated, while Lizzo, Beyoncé, Wet Leg, and Becky Hill all won big.
