People are calling Mo Gilligan out for Lewis Capaldi mishap at the Brits
Viewers of the Brit awards 2023 are calling out Mo Gilligan for the faux pas he made when introducing Lewis Capaldi's performance - by accidentally calling him Sam. Awkward.
If you've been watching the Brit awards, you'll know the red carpet was full of naked dresses and incredible outfits - not least from Sam Smith. But fans were less than happy with host Mo Gilligan, who accidentally called Lewis 'Sam' in his introduction.
"I’m sorry Mo Gilligan but who the f*** is Sam Capaldi," one person asked, while another said, "Did Mo Gilligan really just say Sam Capaldi? #Brits2023" Someone else wrote, "Lewis Capaldi (or Sam Capaldi as the nervy host Mo Gilligan introduced him) keeps it deceptively simple, which works a treat. Nothing like a gospel choir to enliven a weepy open mic acoustic ballad. #BRITs"
Other comments read, "WHO IS SAM CAPALDI WHAT IS THIS. THIS IS ANTI SCOTTISH MO GILLIGAN PLZ RETRACT AND APOLOGISE. #Brits2023" and "Mo Gilligan calling Lewis Capaldi Sam is giving John Travolta at the Oscars #Brits2023."
Someone needs to take that glass of wine off Mo Gilligan sharpish. Sam Capaldi?! 🤣🤣 #Brits2023

After Lewis's performance, Mo apologised for the Sam comment, explaining he very much knew his name was Lewis. Of course!
This year, Lewis performed 'Forget Me' at the ceremony, and is also nominated for Song of the Year. In 2020, he won Best New Artist alongside Song of the Year, for 'Someone You Loved', which he also performed at the awards.
Wonder who Sam Capaldi is, and what he's up to tonight, eh?
