Sabrina Carpenter's racy Brit Awards performance sparks outrage among viewers
Sabrina Carpenter's 2025 Brit Awards performance is causing a wave of debate among viewers. On Saturday, the former Disney star got a mix of reactions after opening the show with hit songs such as "Bed Chem" and "Espresso." Wearing a red lingerie ensemble, Carpenter's racy performance had U.K. residents threatening the broadcasting company, Ofcom, as the segment was shown ahead of the 9 p.m. watershed. According to the BBC, the 9 p.m. watershed policy is intended to prevent programming unsuitable for children from airing too early. "What have I just watched Sabrina carpenter," one viewer wrote on X. "WTF That was pure soft porn before the watershed." "It's cool to be sexy and empowered. Unfortunately, this throw back was none of those things. Cheap and tacky," another wrote. "The other acts did very creative routines, with impressive sets and costumes. This was lazy and thoughtless. The "dancers" looked as foolish as she did. It wasn't kitch, it was cringe," one viewer wrote. Despite the outrage among some viewers, others were impressed with the singer's creativity. "Some people threatening to complain to Ofcom about Sabrina Carpenter's BRIT Awards performance need to get a life. It was a fun show with great energy! If you can't handle a little excitement before 9 pm, maybe it's time to lighten up!" one fan wrote. "Sabrina Carpenter at the brits doing bed chem before the watershed is absolutely iconic. she's a sexy little lady who wants everyone to feel sexy for themselves not for other people! Go cry about it it ofcom," another wrote. On Sunday, Carpenter - who won the Global Success award at the UK award show - took to social media to share a series of photos and videos from the Brit Awards, cheekily writing, "i now know what watershed is!!!!" Representatives for Carpenter did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. A representative for Ofcom told Fox News Digital that they plan to publish an audience complaint report on March 5. If they receive more than 50 complaints about the performance, Carpenter's performance will be documented. Carpenter has always stayed true to who she is, especially when it comes to expressing herself through her artistry. "This is my diary," she said in an interview with Vanity Fair in 2024. "Once I put it out there, it's for other people to interpret. I try to not tell people what a song is explicitly about. People don't always know what's going on inside the minds of anyone, let alone a young girl who's navigating love and a lot of things for the first time."

Charli XCX Wore A Very, Very Revealing Dress To The 2025 BRIT Awards
Charli XCX won big at the 2025 Brit Awards. The "360" singer was nominated for six awards and won five, including Artist of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, Album of the Year for Brat, British Dance Act, and Song of the Year for "Guess" featuring Billie Eilish. Aside from her major wins, the big "Talk Talk" of the night was Charli's revealing dress that had everyone gagged and gasping for air. Charli wore a black sheer dress from Turkish-British designer Dilara Findikoglu's fall 2025 collection. The dress is part of the "Venus from Chaos" collection, which includes elements of Victorian undergarments and dresses made with shells, pearls, hair, and more. Charli was styled by Chris Horan, who is responsible for many phenomenal looks, including her custom Ann Demeuleeester at the 2025 Grammys and her sheer YSL dress at the Variety's Hitmakers Brunch. Here's another look at Charli at the Brit Awards. Neil Mockford / FilmMagic She ate all the way down. However, the sheer dress didn't go over well with everyone, and Charli took umbrage against the haters in her acceptance speech for Artist of the Year. "I heard that ITV were complaining about my nipples," Charli said. "I feel like we're in the era of free the nipple though, right?" When the applause began, Charli quipped, "They put the clap track on, cool. Thanks for being on my side." For the remainder of her speech, Charli thanked everyone who helped Brat come to life and dedicated her win to other artists. "And thank you to all the artists out there who feel like they don't fit in but are brave enough to try and be rejected a million times. I share this with you. Thank you so much. Keep partying." Congratulations, Charli, on five awards and the "🔥🔥🔥" dress.

Jack Whitehall opens Brit Awards with Squid Games-style segment
Jack Whitehall opened the 2025 Brit Awards with a nod to Squid Games in a segment featuring the comedian in a version of the hit Netflix show. The infamous Squid Games guards, who wear bright pink boiler suits and a black mesh face mask with white symbols of various shapes, demanded that Whitehall "decide if you wish to host again" before presenting him with an X or O button. "Is Taylor Swift going to be there? Because that would really sway me," Whitehall said as he pulled up his sleeve to reveal friendship bracelets made popular by Swifties. The comedian also poked fun at the Squid Games guards' outfits, comparing them to electronic music duo Daft Punk, who are well known for performing in metallic helmets. Making reference to the large piggy bank featured in the popular South Korean TV show, Whitehall also took a jab at Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing for Oasis tickets. "That would probably just about cover those two Oasis tickets that I found on Ticketmaster," he said.

"Come on mate, it's time to let someone else have a go," said Thompson. Whitehall replies: "Wait, wasn't Joel Dommett here?", before presenter Ade Adepitan joked: "He was, but I shanked him in the night," making reference to the brutal scenes which appear in Squid Games. Presenter Dom Littlewood chimes in to tell Whitehall: "Stand aside, Whitehall. I should host next." "I wouldn't do if I was you, mate," said model Sam Fox, before turning to look at founder of Fleetwood Mac Mick Fleetwood, in reference to their painful hosting gig at the 1989 Brit Awards. "That feels like quite a dated reference," said Whitehall, before Good Morning Britain presenter Richard Madeley attempted to use slang suitable for Gen Z'ers or people born after 1996. "Enough of this nonsense. It's time to hand over the reins to the GOAT (greatest of all time)," said Madeley. "Big Rich has got this. Let me flex with the Gen Zeds. Press the X, Jack. Let the rizzmaster cook." After Whitehall agrees to host the Brit Awards, a dismayed Madeley's censored swearing is blurred out with an angry face emoji. "Let's do this," the comedian said, before the show live from the O2 Arena opened with a performance from US singer Sabrina Carpenter. The 2025 Brit Awards marked Whitehall's fifth time hosting the awards show.
