Jack Whitehall decided to bring up the ongoing drama between Little Mix and Piers Morgan during the Brit awards.

In November last year, Morgan heavily condemned Little Mix for “using their sexuality” to sell records after the pop group took part in a nude photoshoot to promote their single “Strip”.

Speaking with the group at the awards show, Whitehall joked that looking at “voluptuous breasts and four chins – it must have been like looking in the mirror”.

As the members of Little Mix members looked shocked, he continued: “What do you say to that, dutty waste man?”

“Haters gonna hate, players gonna play,” Whitehall concluded. Watch the incident above.

The Brit awards saw The 1975 and Calvin Harris take home two awards apiece. Meanwhile, The Carters posed before a painting of Meghan Markle dressed as the Queen while accepting the Best International Group award. Other international artists to win awards included Drake and Ariana Grande – who were also unable to attend the awards ceremony.
