His Sidesplitting Intro Speech and Genderless Award Hype

The banter kept coming. Gilligan hyped 2022 being the first year of genderless awards, while reminding the lads that this meant they were up against Adele. He also got his cohost Maya Jama to relay the list of cocktails he'd put on at the BRIT Bar, which were mostly named after himself — we'll take a cool cosMOpolitan, a Pornstar MOtini, or a tall glass of Man-Like-MOjito any day.

Calling out our PM on his alleged "work" and wine and cheese parties during the lockdown. "We all love a party . . .

Look at you looking for the Dairylea."
