Jade Thirlwall left viewers of the 2025 BRIT Awards shocked when her dancer flashed his bare bum during her show-stopping performance.

The Little Mix star, 32, took to the stage at London’s O2 Arena to perform her hit track Angel Of My Dreams in her first solo performance at the ceremony.

Her show saw her dress as a bride and an angel in an array of outfit changes and fall to the floor from a platform, but there was one moment that really got people talking.

In a blink-and-you’ll-miss it moment, one of Jade’s dancers could be seen flashing his bare behind right at the end of her song, before the camera panned away.

He had ‘FUFN’ written across his bottom in black marker pen, which is the тιтle of Jade’s upcoming single, which she teased in a short video in recent days.

Jade also took to her Instagram to share a pH๏τograph of the cheeky moment as she asked fans if they had noticed it.

Alongside the snap, she shared a hyperlink to pre-save the song, which was тιтled: ‘Who saw it?’ in reference to the fleeting ɴuᴅᴇ moment.

Fans were quick to take to the comments section to share their surprise over the moment as they were left in sтιтches over her unique advertising technique.

Comments included: ‘Sooo was that scripted the man showing his ᴀss’; ‘LMAOOOOOO’; ‘I was ᴅᴇᴀᴅ’;

‘Iconic’; ‘Thank you for this beautiful gift lol’; ‘Who’s ᴀss is that’; ‘WTF JADE LOL.’

Dancer Harry Carter also claimed that he was the person pictured in the image as fans shared their amusement.

On the night, Jade also took home her first BRIT Award as a solo artist since Little Mix went on on hiatus December 2021. 

She scored the award for Best Pop Act, and quickly went viral for her chaotic acceptance speech.

The award was presented by Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhán Donaghy of the Sugababes, with Jade winning over Charli XCX, Dua Lipa, Lola Young and Myles Smith.

Jade also sported an array of different outfits during her show, one of which was a cheeky lingerie-style ensemble, made up of a corset feathered top and stockings

Performing her track Angel Of My Dreams, Jade was suspended from the air and sported huge wings during one daring moment

As her name was read out, the pop star gasped in shock and excitedly made her way to the stage, but was hampered by the huge train and skirt of her denim bridal dress.

She struggled to climb the stairs on to the stage and needed a helping hand from the Sugababes after becoming stuck.

Beginning her acceptance speech, Jade then proceeded to reach into her dress and pull out a folded piece of paper from her cleavage.

She explained: ‘Oh my God! This is my first solo BRIT Award! I can’t cry because I’ve got to sing later, but I did do a little piece of paper in case I won the award. I know it’s cringe but I knew I’d forget people. I’m flustered.’

She went on to thank her fans and loved ones for helping her get so far, saying: ‘I need to thank the fans because that’s why I’ve won. 

‘Thank you for supporting me and relentlessly forcing everyone around you to vote for me, I really appreciate it.

‘I want to thank my fabulous team around me, because it really does take a determined village to make a good pop act.

‘My partner Jordan, my mum, dad, my brother and all my family and friends for always believing in me.

However, she went viral for another reason as she struggled to climb the stairs on and off the stage and needed a helping hand from the Sugababes after becoming stuck

‘Thank you for making me thing it was a realistic goal to be a pop star ever since I was a little girl.’

Jade then paid a sweet tribute to her former Little Mix bandmates, Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, saying they ‘changed her life’.

Becoming emotional, she gushed: ‘And finally my Little Mix sisters, I love you so much. I wouldn’t have this award without them. They changed my life and I am so grateful.’

She once again had to rely on the Sugababes to make her way down for the stage as she had more difficulties with her outfit.

Elsewhere, Charli XCX led the winners as her smash hit album BRAT swept the board and took home a whopping five awards on Saturday evening. 

The British singer, 32, whose No1 album became a cultural phenomenon last summer, took home Best Album, Artist of The Year, Song Of The Year, Best Dance Act and Best Song Writing.

Charli’s incredible sweep mirrored Raye’s own triumph at last year’s ceremony which saw the 27-year-old made history after scooping a record breaking six gongs.  

While accepting the evening’s top award for Artist Of The Year the scantily clad star revealed ITV had complained about her racy award show look before declaring ‘free the nip!’ to cheers from the audience.

Following her racy performance to open the ceremony, Sabrina Carpenter, 25, also landed her first BRIT when she scooped the special Global Success Award

Charli stunned in a very daring sheer black gown which she wore over skimpy underwear as she put her enviable figure on full display. 

After host Jack Whitehall quipped the songstress would not be performing at the O2 ceremony in order to ‘get drunk’ the bleary-eyed singer was in great spirits while accepting her numerous honours.

During one stage appearance she joked it was great to see a song about underwear win after her hit Guess ft Billie Eilish was crowned Best Song Of The Year. 

Sabrina Carpenter also landed her first BRIT when she scooped the special Global Success Award. 

Thanking her UK fans American singer quipped that a ‘predominantly tea drinking country’ had ‘streamed the s***’ out of her smash hit track Espresso. 

However the banger was pipped to the post for Best International Song Of The Year to Chappell Roan for her own catchy tune Good Luck, Babe.

The H๏τ TO GO singer, 27, later went on to beat the likes of Beyoncé and Billie Eilish to win Best International Artist. 

Unable to be there, she accepted via video link and paid tribute to the trans community as well as thanking drag queens and the late Sinead O’Connor for inspiriting her.
