After what can only be described as a beige couple of years, Brit Awards bosses hired Jack Whitehall to inject some much-needed snark into proceedings this year. 

And deliver he did, with no-one seemingly off limits as he made jibes at Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran and even S Club 7′s Paul Cattermole as he took to the helm of the awards show. 

Here’s just a few of our favourite one-liners from the funnyman...

1. Trailing Ed Sheeran’s performance:

2. After Kendrick Lamar’s performance: 

“That car was just one of those left here by ‘Top Gear’ Live. Tragically, it still had Richard Hammond in it.””

3. On the Best British Video award: 

“It is wide open, it could literally be won by any former member of One Direction.””

4. After Rag ‘n’ Bone Man and Jorja Smith’s fiery performance:

5. Introducing Ronnie Wood to the stage: 

“A man who has caned it for so long even he has to watch the in memoriam package every year to check he’s not in it. It’s almost-living legend, Ronnie Wood.””

6. Having to cut short Damon Albarn’s speech: 

“Oh I really don’t want this to be an Adele moment. I’d have let them speak all night if it was my choice... I think he was talking about Brexit.””

7. Trailing Sam Smith’s performance:

8. Introducing Little Mix to the stage:

“Narrowly outselling the winner of ‘The Voice’ by a mere 4.3million albums, it’s Little Mix.””

9. Being even more shady about ‘The Voice’: 

“These are the people who and pluck you from obscurity and catapult you into  anonymity.””
