Heavily pregnant Fleur East joked the BRITS would be a ‘great place to go into labour’ as she hit the ceremony’s star-studded red carpet at London’s O2 on Saturday.
The singer, 36, dazzled in a brown jumpsuit with a gold finish and also rocked a huge gold choker and chain-link earrings.
Speaking to she revealed she was ’embracing’ her blossoming bump in the custom outfit created for her by Strictly’s designers.
Saying: ‘I decided to make the most of the bump, you can try and hide it but I was like “Nah I’m going to embrace it tonight” so it’s fully on show’.
With little complaints she branded her pregnancy ‘amazing’ but revealed her sister tried to warn her off attending Saturday’s ceremony.

‘My sister was just like “What are you playing at, going to the BRITs when you could give birth any day?”‘.
Before laughing: ‘But I just feel like, what a way to induce labour’
Fleur announced her pregnancy with her first child back in July. She is married to Marcel Badiane-Robin, a fashion designer.
Raye broke records at Saturday night’s BRIT Awards, winning six gongs during a star-studded ceremony at London’s O2 arena.
The singer/songwriter, 26, scooped the first gong presented on the night, Song of the Year for her hit Escapism ft 070 Shake, shortly before also taking home the R&B Act gong and Best New Artist.
She was in floods of tears as she later accepted Album Of The Year, Artist Of The Year and Songwriter of the Year, bringing her beloved grandmother on stage at one point.
The star now holds the record for the most BRITs won at a single ceremony, a record which previously stood at four, jointly held by Blur (1995), Adele (2016) and Harry Styles (2023).
She had been nominated seven times – the most ever for a single artist in a year – but couldn’t possibly have won more than she did as she was shortlisted twice for song of the year – for Escapism, which won the title, and for Prada.

As well as Raye’s huge successes, Dua Lipa won best pop act while Kylie Minogue – who had a massive comeback hit last year with Padam Padam – picked up the global icon award. The night was dominated by female winners, who won gongs in all but four categories.
Dua Lipa picked up the fan-voted Pop Act gong, gushing to her fans: ‘I guess for more reasons than one my fans are the reasons why I’m standing here today, so I wanna say a massive thank you to each and every single one of you who have voted for me.’
A record 98 artists were up for the new 2024 BRIT award, which has been designed by British visual artist and painter Rachel Jones.
The only men to get accolades were Calvin Harris for dance act; Sheffield quartet Bring Me The Horizon in the alternative/rock category; Casisdead for best hip-hop, grime or rap act; and duo Jungle for group of the year.
Miley Cyrus was a notable absentee on the night, sending her thanks for her International Song win for her smash hit Flowers in a video message.
‘Hello to everybody at the Brits. I wanted to say thank you so much for voting Flowers as the international song of the year, and a special thank you for giving me somewhere to wear this dress, she said, showing off her minuscule gold number.
‘It’s incredible to win but the real prize is having this incredible song hit around the world. I know this video is a little short but I just wanted it to match my dress.’
