Mo Gilligan jokes Boris Johnson should join Brit Awards ‘party’

Mo Gilligan has mocked the Prime Minister inviting him to the Brit Awards ceremony because “I know you love a party”.

The comedian, 33, is hosting the awards show for the first time, taking over from Jack Whitehall who has helmed the event for many years.

He joked: “We all love a party, the mad hatter’s tea party.

“Speaking of parties, Boris I know you’re watching, I know you love a party, come on my guy, come down.

“I know you like a cheese board, look at you, looking for the Dairylea.”

The reference comes after the Prime Minister came under fire over lockdown parties in Whitehall and has been hit with many resignations.
