Lily Allen slams Brits bosses

Lily Allen has blasted Brits' organisers for cutting off Adele's acceptance speech.

The singer turned new mum said the decision to order the songstress to wrap-up moments after she arrived on stage to collect the best album prize was "sexist".

She tweeted of the incident: "I can't say I'm surprised. It was like the music industry's attitude to women played out as a metaphor."

Her comment comes after Brit Awards host James Corden said he had actually been told to move in before he did - just after Adele said "thank you".

He said: "The whole room was on its feet and they (the producers) said 'you've got to do it now'.

"And then essentially it was just such a surreal moment and everything you can hear in your ear is about five people having an argument and there's one overriding voice saying 'James, you have to'."

Adele picked up the best British female prize in addition to best album for 21 and her wins came little over a week after she collected six prizes at the US Grammys.

But the singer was so frustrated by being cut off in her prime that she aimed a one finger gesture to "the suits" who ordered her off.
