Brit Awards 2021 viewers have demanded a new host next year after Jack Whitehall failed to impress some people.
The great and the good in the music industry gathered at London’s 02 Arena last night (Tuesday May 11) to celebrate the past year in music.
However, while the likes of Dua Lipa, Taylor Swift and Harry Styles stole the show, viewers demanded that Jack Whitehall be replaced as host for next year’s ceremony.
What happened with Jack Whitehall at the BRITs 2021?
Jack landed the presenter’s gig for the fourth time.
In the past, he’s come under fire for some of his jokes, and this year was no different.
First, he had a dig at Piers Morgan.
“I can’t tell you how grateful we are to be here tonight for the first live event back in the O2 arena,” he said.
“Yes, this venue has been emptier than Piers Morgan’s diary.”

And then he cracked a joke about Laurence Fox.
He said: “The music industry has had it tough this year, but there have been some good news stories…
“Laurence Fox’s tragic foray into politics that meant at least he’s finally stopped making music.”
With gags about Little Mix’s pregnancies, Olly Murs and Niall Horan, Jack came under fire.
