BRITS host Jack Whitehall took a savage swipe at the Baftas after its N-word outburst controversy.
Last week the BBC came under fire after it aired Tourettes activist John Davidson‘s involuntary comments while actors Delroy Lindo and Michael B Jordan were presenting an award on stage.
The BBC has since launched an investigation into why it was not edited out of the final programme that aired two hours later during a prime time slot.
A week on, Brits host Jack took a swipe at the controversy during the ITV broadcast at the Co-op Live Arena.
During one of his links, Jack said they had “one of the best in the business” on the bleep button, before adding it was the same person who had worked the Baftas.
He joked: “Nothing gets past him.”
The Baftas was pulled off BBC iPlayer after initial outrage and the Beeb has confirmed the slur will be edited out of the version uploaded.
A BBC spokesperson said: “Some viewers may have heard strong and offensive language during the BAFTA Film Awards.
“This arose from involuntary verbal tics associated with Tourette syndrome, and as explained during the ceremony it was not intentional.
“We apologise that this was not edited out prior to broadcast and it will now be removed from the version on BBC iPlayer.”
The outburst, which was one of many unintentional interruptions, was explained as coming from a person in the crowd who has Tourette syndrome.
John Davidson let out involuntary shouts due to his condition during the ceremony.
I Swear, which was nominated at the ceremony, shares his story from John’s diagnosis before much was known about the condition.
The title is a nod to his uncontrollable swearing associated with the syndrome.
Meanwhile at the Brits, Harry Styles opened the show with a performance of his comeback single, Aperture.
Viewers also got to see performances from Olivia Dean, K Pop Demon Hunters and Raye.
