RICHARD Madeley made a sly dig at Adele on Good Morning Britain today ahead of her highly-anticipated Brit Awards performance tonight.
The Brit Awards 2022 ceremony is set to return this evening with Adele booked to make a very rare live appearance.
The Easy On Met hitmaker has four nominations at the ceremony and Madeley couldn’t resist making a barbed comment as GMB’s showbiz editor Richard Arnold told viewers it would be her first Brits appearance since 2016.
He said: “And you think she’ll actually turn up?” before repeating his question.
Viewers noticed the barbed comment, with one tweeting: “Madeley slipping in a couple of digs at Adele #gmb”
Last week, pop superstar Adele confirmed she will perform during the awards ceremony.
It comes after she postponed her Las Vegas Caesars Palace residency at short notice, with Grammy-winning country music star Keith Urban stepping in to replace her.
There will also be live performances from Dave, Doja Cat, Ed Sheeran, Holly Humberstone, Liam Gallagher and Little Simz.
And British superstar Ed is preparing to open the ceremony with one of the most dangerous Brits performances of all time — by setting fire to the inside of the Arena.
On top of that, he has enlisted 30 dancers including aerial performers, a contortionist and men in lace dresses to bring the routine to life.https://imasdk.googleapis.com/js/core/bridge3.496.0_en.html#goog_1381635447
A source said: “Ed will make one of the most explosive openings in Brit Awards history, with the help of some special guests.
“He wanted to make sure he returned to Britain’s biggest stage with a bang following the pandemic and no expense has been spared.”
Meanwhile, Ed and Adele will go head to head in the main categories after the Brits faced pressure to do away with its male and female-specific awards this year.
Nominations for the Brit Awards this year feature the most women in more than a decade, with 18 female artists or all-women groups receiving nods.
British rapper Dave, who gave a memorable performance of his track Black at the 2020 show, is up for artist, album and song of the year as well as hip hop/grime/rap act.
London-based Simbiatu Ajikawo, aka Little Simz, is also nominated in the best artist and album categories and has also received a nod for best new artist.
They will compete against Sam Fender for the inaugural artist of the year award.
Fender, Central Cee and David Guetta are each up for three awards.
Doja Cat, Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish and Lil Nas X are each up for two awards and will battle it out against Taylor Swift for the international artist of the year award.
Sir Elton John received his first Brit nomination in 20 years, in the song of the year category for his collaboration with Dua Lipa – who is also nominated for the best pop/R&B act gong.
Other nominees include Joy Crookes, Coldplay, Little Mix and KSI.
The Brit Awards 2022 will air live on ITV from the O2 Arena in London on Tuesday.
