Mo Gilligan has Brit viewers in hysterics as he introduces Lewis Capaldi as 'Sam'
Mo Gilligan had viewers in stitches at The Brit Awards on Saturday when he called Lewis Capaldi by the wrong name before the singer took to the stage.
Mo, who hosted the awards for a second year in a row, announced: "Lets have another performance, it's a singer-songwriter who is the spirit of the Brit Awards in human form. Here with his amazing number one single, Forget Me.Lewis didn't appear to acknowledge the blunder and continued to belt out his hit track Forget Me, with the audience going wild for the artist.
He then addressed his earlier name mistake, and jokingly told the crowd: "I have to apologise, I did call him Sam – it just goes to show how strong the drinks are at the Brits. They’re not playing around!""I'm such a huge fan of Sam Capaldi," one person sarcastically tweeted, as a second added: "Who is Sam Capaldi may I ask?"
Lewis, 26, appeared to see the fun side in the name mixup, and despite being at the awards bash took to Twitter himself to share a joke about Mo's mistake.
