Lewis Capaldi made Brits viewers laugh tonight when he was muted throughout his presenting speech

The Scottish singer kept TV editors on their toes as millions of people tuned in at home.

Having perhaps indulged at the free bar, the Before You Go hitmaker blurted out a few sentences that were peppered with swear words.

The audience inside the O2 – made up of key workers – booed the star but that didn’t stop him swearing up a storm.

And he was swearing so much that some slipped through the mute button, including when he said: “Hello mutherf*****s”

Lewis even dared to suggest that Scotland would beat England at Wembley when the sides meet at next month’s Euros.

At the end of his speech, he added: “Some good s***.”

But Lewis, 24, mostly left viewers at home straining to hear what he had to say.

Despite his car crash speech many people praised his Brits appearance as being one of the few entertaining moments of the night.

One fan wrote on Twitter: “Just a suggestion for Lewis Capaldi to host next years Brit Awards #BRITs”
