The Brits: Some viewers 'cringe' over Tom Grennan's 'boob' comment to Ellie Goulding

Viewers say they were left 'cringing' after singers Tom Grennan and Ellie Goulding teamed up to present an award at The Brits. Tom and Ellie stepped out on stage together on Saturday night, February 11.

Some viewers were taken aback when Tom brought attention to Ellie's top, saying "I love what you're doing." And then he asked: "They're real boobs?"

"These are not no," she replied about the top's added breast detail. "I wish." "Ah sorry," Tom replied. And Ellie continued: "Mine are a lot further apart." "Oh okay," he told her, Manchester Evening News reports.

@HannahColley tweeted about the moment: "This was so uncomfortable to watch." @MeeraJade asked: "Did we just open the door to the past?!"

@AshJamIng wrote: "I almost cringed myself into a different millennia." @michsu81 tweeted: "This was hard to watch." And @depplyhaIIows said: "I had to replay and make sure I heard that correctly WTF?????"

Viewers were left underwhelmed earlier in the night when Beyonce won best international artist. But awards announcers Georgia May Jagger and Happy Valley star Rhys Connah were left introducing a video screen message from the megastar instead because she couldn't be there.

@TajaChristian tweeted: "Beyoncé said thanks for the statue but I’ll see you on tour." @Bob71136804 commented: "Awk." And @marcusjdl wrote: "Well this is all very awkward."
