Joel Dommett leaves Maya Jama speechless over x-rated Elton John joke at the BRIT Awards

Masked Singer host Joel Dommett shocked Maya Jama, and viewers at home when he made an x-rated joke about Elton John at the BRIT Awards last night.

Near the end of the evening, BRITs host Mo Gilligan chatted to Joel, Maya and AJ Odudu ahead of David Guetta's performance.

Joel wore a monochrome suit, and referencing his outfit, he said: "I love wearing the mad suits here as well, it's a proper party. It continues the party."

He went on: "Tonight I feel like a piano, I'm ready to be fingered by Elton John."

Love Island host Maya looked incredibly shocked by the joke, while AJ moved the conversation along, saying he looked like a Liquorice Allsorts sweet.

Viewers at home picked up on Maya's horrified expression, with one person saying on Twitter : "Maya Jama's reaction to Joel Dommett's joke about looking like a piano is PRICELESS."

Another wrote: "Oh my life, completely unnecessary Elton John related filth from Joel Dommett there, people's careers have been finished for less ..."

A third person said: "I’m ready to be fingered by Elton John” Just Joel Dommett creating tv moment of the year."

One viewer penned: "What did @joeldommett say? He is ready to be what by @eltonofficial @MayaJama 's face lol."

Joel wasn't the only BRITs attendee who perhaps put his foot in it last night, with singer Tom Grennan coming under fire for a comment he made to Ellie Goulding while the pair presented an award

Ellie wore a black armoured plate with sculpted breasts to present a gong with Tom, and he couldn't seem to resist asking if they were her real breasts.

The Starry Eyed singer remained calm and joked she wished they were and hers are much further apart.

Viewers have blasted Tom over the comment, with one person saying on Twitter : "Tom grennan comment was so out of line to ellie goulding..."

Another said: "The scripts, the Tom Grennan asking Ellie Goulding about her boobs…in 2023?!"

A third person wrote: "Also how are people focusing on what someone is wearing and not the cringeworthy moment Tom Grennan decided to ask Ellie Goulding about her breasts on stage like that wasn’t hella inappropriate. Honestly eurgh."

A fourth penned: "That comment from Tom Grennan to Ellie Goulding was vvvv unnecessary, yikes."

After the BRITs finished, there was a slew of afterparties, followed by celebs making their way home in a taxi, with some unable to keep their eyes open for a moment longer.

One such person was TV presenter Alex Scott, who had a trusty bottle of Evian water in a cup holder as she sat in the back of a car.

Wearing a plunging rose print jumpsuit, Alex looked as glam as ever as she jumped into a taxi, covering herself in her cape.

The Football Focus host, 38, couldn't resist shutting her eyes as she relaxed in the cab.
