Este Haim phones Cheryl to explain upstaging her chat with Liam Payne at BRITs

She wasn't drunk, FYI

| Updated:

Forget about the awards and red carpet, the highlight of the BRITs for many of us was Este Haim’s video bombing Cheryl and Liam Payne’s live interview!

The American bassist was sitting behind the couple at the glitzy ceremony, and totally stole the show while they were being interviewed by BRITs host Jack Whitehall.

As Jack chatted to Liam and Cheryl, viewers were totally distracted by Este behind them.

She was seen applying her lip gloss rather seductively, winking at the camera and then making ‘call me’ gestures.

Many viewers called it their highlight of the evening!

Not everyone knew who Este was, though, with one article referring to her as a “mystery drunk woman”. Oops! And totally untrue as she’s said she was NOT drunk at all!

Appearing on Nick Grimshaw’s BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show on Thursday morning, the band Haim laughed at the reports, joking how they’re clearly not famous enough in the UK to warrant a name-check!

Este said: “I was completely sober! I just had a great time. I was living my life!”

They also said they had no clue what Jack was talking to Cheryl and Liam about, so they totally missed the whole kinky chat about safe words and Fifty Shades of Grey.

Nick said some people had accused Este of “ruining” the couple’s night and suggested she call Cheryl to say sorry for doing weird faces behind her.

Laughing, Este was up for it!

Dialling the number, there was no answer, so Este left a message. A long one!

“Cheryl, hi, this is Este Haim calling. I’m in a band called Haim with my sisters. We… wait, before anything, congratulations on the baby,” she said.

“I happened to be sitting behind you last night at the BRIT Awards and I had an amazing time, however some people on the internet are claiming that I may or may not have been thumbing my nose at the situation in front of me. That’s an Americanism… but I want to let you know there’s no beef.

“I’d like to invite you to my show at Alexandra Palace on June 15, 2018. Big kiss. Lots of love. There is no beef. We are all friends here. Big hug, big kisses. Love you. Call me. I’ll text you my number. Bye.”

Nick and Este’s sister Alana were falling around laughing at how lengthy her voicemail was!

“That was so long!” said Nick. “She doesn’t have time for that!”

“Yes she does!” said Este. “She can put it on the Bluetooth in the car and listen to it on her drive this morning.”

Alana joked: “That was literally a podcast!”

So, over to you Cheryl! The offer’s open for the Haim concert…
