The comedian's presenting was one of the highlights of the show

Jack Whitehall was searching for 'Beef at the BRITs" and ended up providing them all by himself.

Second time host of the BRIT Awards Jack Whitehall took to the stage last night at London's O2 Arena for the biggest night in British music.

In between performances and award-giving, Jack joined some of the biggest talent for a quick chat at their dinner tables. He even asked Shawn Mendes about his latest Calvin Klein gig, and the singer looked very visibly uncomfortable (probably why he didn't make it into Whitehall's "best bits" video of the night).

Whitehall also chatted with Dua Lipa, who was joined by her family. It didn't take long for the comic to come onto her silver fox father for a second year in a row. *Cue Dua Lipa covering her face in her hands*

However, it was Whitehall's chat with Little Mix that provided the moment of the night - he brought up Piers Morgan and his Twitter tiffs with the girl group.

Jack was searching for beef at the BRITs, and the girl's weren't really biting. However, their body language and facial reactions say it all. The girls looked very frosty at the mention of Morgan's name. The presenter mentioned the girl group's picture which triggered the online feud, saying upon Morgan seeing "voluptuous breasts and four chins, it must have been like looking in the mirror for him."

He also topped it off by asking Jesy Nelson, "Jesy, what would you say to that dutty wasteman?" to stifled laughs from the girl group. You can watch that moment below from the one minute mark.

 

Reaction online was, without a doubt, amazing.

 

Jade Thirlwall just couldn't hold back an eye-roll.

 

Well, there you go:

 

Also, sidenote - it was Wednesday. And Little Mix were wearing pink.

 

Piers Morgan has since responded to Jack Whitehall's comments, calling him a "chinless weed."

He has also accused Whitehall and Little Mix of fat-shaming him. Oh dear.
