- Adele is left fuming after her speech is cut off
By: Niamh, February 22
Adele was not happy about being cut off in the middle of her acceptance speech for Album of the Year at the BRIT Awards last night.
The live event hosted by James Cordon was running over time and James was left with no choice but to interrupt Adele and cut her off. The Grammy winner responded by flipping the finger ‘to the suits.’
The singer began her speech saying: 'Thank you so much, thank you, thank you very, very much.
'Nothing beats coming home with six Grammys and then coming to the Brits and winning album of the year.
'I'm so proud to be flying the British flag for all of you.'
James then appeared on stage, met by boos from the crowd, and said: 'I'm so sorry, can I just cut off?'
Adele said: 'Are you about to cut me off? Can I just say then, goodbye and I'll see you next time round.'
She then proceeded to flip the bird, amid cheers from the audience.
An ITV spokesman said: 'The BRITs is a live event. Unfortunately the programme was over running and we had to move on. We would like to apologise to Adele for the interruption.'
The star said afterwards: 'I was about to thank the British public for their support. They cut me off, sorry if I offended anyone but the suits offended me.'
