Was Idris Elba trying to snatch the title of “most embarrassing moment in BRIT Awards history” from Madonna when he presented at the ceremony this week?
Unlikely. But intentions aside, the Luther actor forgot one important step before appearing on stage to present Album of the Year.

Rocking a pink Gucci jacket and sunglasses, Elba read out the nominees, which included Adele, Dave, Ed Sheeran, Little Simz and Sam Fender. Adele won for her album 30.
How about we take this to the next level?

Why the hell are people complaining that Idris Elba’s fly was open at The Brits?
They’re acting like that’s not the best possible outcome.

The real Bruce
Is that all people can talk about, Idris Elba’s fly being open? It’s not like anything was hangin’ out! The “Brits” are always fun anyway. But really, where your minds are at these days!
