Jack Whitehall's Embarrassing Moment at the Brit Awards

Published March 1, 2025

Jack Whitehall found himself in a comedic predicament as his parents made a surprise appearance at the Brit Awards. The 36-year-old comedian was hosting the glamorous event for the fifth time, and he began the show with his signature humor, teasing various celebrities in attendance.

The evening kicked off with a fun introduction inspired by the popular series Squid Game, which included notable figures like Richard Madeley and Sam Thompson. Following this, singer Sabrina Carpenter delivered the first performance of the night.

Whitehall humorously noted, "What a way to start the show!" before adding, "Yes, I’m back! ITV had so many of its presenters cancel this year they had to come crawling back to an ex." In his typical style, he continued to roast the stars around him, joking about Charli XCX and her not performing just so she could enjoy a drink, describing her as a "legend."

As the show went on, Whitehall playfully targeted Stormzy, calling him “the Grime scene’s Ronald McDonald,” and made jokes about KSI’s music, saying, "KSI judging talent is like Stephen Hawking judging Strictly."

However, the mood shifted later in the evening when Whitehall’s parents imitatively followed in the footsteps of Kanye West and Bianca Censori, causing Jack to blush. During Teddy Swims’ performance, his parents were seen on the red carpet, which took Jack by surprise. This humorous scene referenced a recent incident at the Grammys, where Censori surprised everyone with a shocking outfit choice.

Whitehall’s mother, Hilary, joked that their appearance was inspired by the controversial couple, saying, "It worked for Kanye and his wife." Jack humorously responded, pointing out, "Yeah, maybe Yeezy can pull that look off, but if he wears sunglasses indoors, he just looks blind," alluding to his father’s bewildered expression.

As the segment continued, Hilary humorously threatened to take off her coat, mimicking Censori’s reveal. Jack reacted by exclaiming, "Don’t you dare, Hilary!" adding, "I’m never going to eat turkey again," to which Hilary comically retorted, "It’s nothing you’ve not seen before, Jack!"

Viewers at home thoroughly enjoyed the unexpected moment, with fans commenting on social media about the hilarity of Jack’s parents recreating the Kanye and Bianca incident. Many praised the lighthearted interaction, showing their appreciation for the comedic situation that unfolded live on TV.

Despite the surprise caused by his parents, Jack had earlier teased that he intended to poke fun at various celebrities and had promised a memorable night filled with laughter. He expressed excitement about the night, stating, "I know Sam Fender and Jade will be up for it. They’re always up for a laugh and don’t take themselves too seriously." This commitment to humor is what makes Jack Whitehall a notable figure at such events.

With all the chaos and laughs, the Brit Awards proved to be an entertaining evening for all.
