BRIT Awards 2019: Jack Whitehall's Wildest Zingers – from Shawn Mendes to Simon Cowell

The sharp wit and sharp tongue of comedian Jack Whitehall have earned him to be invited to host the BRIT Awards for the second year in a row.

And the comedy became big, tearing everyone apart, from an enraged Shawn Mendes to an Ed Sheeran who has never done anything to hurt.

Needless to say, some took it better than others, and here is a summary of his best zingers from 2019 …

Small mixture

Despite declaring himself a Mixer, Jack had an icy answer when he spoke of Jesy Nelson's sadly awful attempt of Jamaican accent, followed by his kebab shop replaced by Chris Hughes of Love Island.

"Jesy, you look nervous," he told him before joking about his meeting in the kebab shop later.

Prince Philip

Referring to the royal's recent car accident, he teased: "Girls' gangs are breaking and burning faster than Prince Philip on a country road."

Liam Payne

He introduced the former star of One Direction as the other half of Naomi Campbell, before saying that he would like to stay on the right side of his fiery lover.

"He's calling Payne … and that's what he'll be seeing," Jack joked.

Shawn Mendes

After buying a WKD from Shawn and making fun of him because he was too young to drink Grammys, he turned his attention to his underwear campaign.

"Who, ladies and gentlemen, has seen Mr. Mendes' new underwear campaign?"

When Shawn blushed, Jack revealed that he had saved the photos on his phone.

"Uh, for those of you who have not done it yet, I really have it here as a screen saver," he continued.

The comedian then told Shawn that he should not be embarrbaded that he likes to "hang out with [his] jock out, "leaving the audience in hysteria.

A spectator told Mirror Online: "Jack's jokes may have made a lot of laughs, but everyone in the auditorium could see that Shawn was clearly mortified.

"After his gags, Shawn turned red and had his head in his hands."

Determined not to let go, he ends up teasing, "just to warn you that the security of O2 is pbadionate about suspicious packages".

Ed Sheeran

Poor Ed was seriously hurt in his looks, Jack joked that his appearance in Game Of Thrones was the "most disturbing scene of all" in the bloody and brutal saga.

Duck

Drake may have been one of the international winners, but Jack still managed to bring the subject back to Shawn, teasing him: "Do not give it to Drake, he never shows up, give it to Shawn Mendes, he dropped his school for that. "

Hugh Jackman

The Greatest Showman opened the evening with a breathtaking performance, prompting Jack to award him the title of "Australia's Answer to Bradley Walsh".

Dua Lipa

While crushing his rather hot father, he joked: "You have a silver fox, mine is whiter than the walker."

Simon Cowell

Jack said that X Factor's mogul would be "asking his surgeon to give him a brave face," if Little Mix wins big after leaving his label.
