Shania Twain Wore A Stunning, Elegant, Figure-Hugging Full Length Yellow Dress (Which Colour Matched Fellow Award Presenter Naomi Ackie’s Dress Choice For Presenting The Best International Artist Award To Beyonce – Video Top Right ).

Famous For Her Song “I Feel Like A Woman” & “That Don’t Impress Me Much” The Canadian Singer Told Mo She Loved The Show & She Loved Him. She Said She Was Looking Forward To Getting Her Hugs In On The Red Carpet With Lizzo, Louis Capaldi And Harry Styles, When Mo Spoke To Her At Her Table. Suffice To Say Opinions Were Mixed About His Presenting Performance This Year.

As Mo Visited The ITV Presenters Table Maya Jama Declared They Had To Do A Good Job (Given Who They Are) But Within Seconds Joel Dommet Dropped A Crude Elton-John Sex Joke On Live TV (Which We’ve Chosen Not To Repeat).

It Was Particularly Unfortunate As This Was The First Year The Ceremony Was Not Broadcast On A School Night So There Would Have Been A Significant Number of Teenage School Children Watching.

Whilst The Whole Table Awkardly Ignored It Maya Jama’s Look of Shock Said It All – And We’ve Seen Her Say Something Edgy Stuff On TV. But The Difference Is In Her Case It Was A Post Watershed Adult Audience).

Joel’s Joke Wasn’t Mo’s Fault But It Didn’t Help Matters In The Grand Scheme of Things On A Night of TV That Was Very Mixed, Felt Disjointed And Generally Underwhelming (But For A Few Standout Exceptions).

No Doubt Comedian Julian Clary Will Be Paying Close Attention To What Happens Next Given What Happened To Him After His Notorious Equally Uncalled For Sex Joke About The Then Chancellor, Norman Lamont, At The Comedy Awards 2009.

Their Respective Managements Might Find Themselves Comparing Notes On A Couple of Particular F’ Bombs After That Shocking Stunt From Mr Dommet.

British-Jamaican BRITs Newbie, Mo Gilligan, On His Second Year of Hosting Duties, Casually Jests With Seasoned, Italian-American, Hollywood Actor Stanley Tucci Who Recently Made A Multi Awarding Winning Smash Hit Cookery Series About Being A Seasoned, Italian-American, Hollywood Actor Who Loves The Food & Drink of His Mother Country. This Would Have Been A Great Time For Mo To Dish Up Some A Grade Comedic Presentation. It’s All In The Delivery Delivery Which Sadly Fell Flat Here. Sometimes Stars Can Win Round The Disenchanted But That Was Clearly Not The Case For The Man on Mo’s Left (Who, Sadly, Doesn’t Seem To Notice)
