What they didn't want you to hear - BRITs muted moments from Jack Whitehall to Lewis Capaldi

Bosses of the BRITs are never too far away from hitting the mute button - as they worry about what the boozy stars may say during the event.

And on Tuesday evening, as the bash took place at London's 02 Arena some moments were muffled with white noise as the show aired on ITV.

As the famous faces nurse their hangovers, here is a look at what was really said during the muted moments that happened at the 2021 edition of the music award ceremony.

Lewis Capaldi's was silenced during the show when he decided to blurt out a string of sweary words.

Lewis showcased his vocabulary of foul-mouthed language as he took to the stage to give out an award to Dua Lipa.

He greeted fans: "Hello motherf***ers!" before he was hastily muted by ITV.

The Scottish native was then heard for another section before he quipped: "I'm f***ing s-"

Once again, he was muted and then said: "Sorry, I'm reading off a card here...how is everyone doing? It's great to be here tonight.

"It's just great to be out of the house to be honest," he was then cut off again.

The singer was then heard again as he said: "Let's hope this year is even bigger and better than ever for British music and obviously let's also hope Scotland win at the Euros!"

Later on Twitter, a video was posted sharing what Lewis after he was muted several times.

The uncensored clip revealed Lewis said: "I'm f***ing sweating here. It's like a swamp down there...sweaty b*****ks."

In another muted section, he added: "It's been a great year for albums, most of all because I haven't f***ing released one."

When the audio was cut again he held the cue card up and shouted: "I didn't f***ing write it!"

Jack Whitehall - who was tasked with hosting the event - also had his mic pulled during the ceremony.

When the comedian's audio was taken off-air, fans tuning in wondering what was said.

One fume: "WAIT WHAT DID JACK WHITEHALL JUST SAY?? WHY DID THEY MUTE HIM???"

A second added: "What did Jack Whitehall just say that was censored? #BRITs "

According to ITV Hub's subtitles, Jack was joking about the "corporate w***ers in the boxes" at the O2 arena which led to worried producers putting him on mute.
