Last Saturday night, Jack took to the stage to present the Brits for the fifth time, after a four year break.
He spent the evening cracking jokes, but disgruntled a few people along the way – including noughties TV presenter Miquita Oliver, 40.
The T4 star has now slammed Jack’s hosting, and called him “inappropriate”.
The presenter didn’t hold back, as she pulled Jack up on his choice of jokes.
Speaking on her Miss Me? podcast with Lily Allen, Miquita said: “The appointment of Jack Whitehall I think was inappropriate.
“He wasn’t the right person.’
Continuing, she said: “I really don’t want to bring Jack Whitehall down… but I felt like he brought a condescending, somewhat glib attitude to the proceedings.
“There is a room full of creatives and artists who have given us work this year that doesn’t need to be undermined, and that was like the whole MO of the tone.
“There were over 10 jokes about musicians taking cocaine.”
Miquita then went onto call Jack’s jokes “dated” and “over”.
BACKLASH AT THE BRITS
It comes after some of Jack’s choice of jokes sparked outrage last Saturday night.
The biggest one came after Jade had finished performing.
He remarked how surprised he was to see her performing in white – after P Diddy‘s white parties hit headlines.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, 55, was charged with
racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in
prostitution after his arrest last September following a string of allegations.
Following the joke, one person raged: “Mentioning Diddy after the whole, very blatant, message of JADEs performance ??? Get this man off my screen.”
Other jokes included making fun of Stormzy following claims the rapper has sold out after teaming up with a fast food brand.
He said: “Ladies and gentlemen, do we have any Vossi Bopper’s in the house?
“In the 90s, you’d find your rappers doing drive-bys; this one you can find at the drive-thru – nominated for two Brit Awards this evening – we didn’t send him a limo tonight, we ‘deliverooed’ him here, it’s Stormzy.
“The grime scene’s Ronald McDonald. He’s loving it.”
One person who felt a lot of heat from Jack throughout the evening was new Britain’s Got Talent judge, KSI.
“The guy who will have a go at literally anything. YouTuber, boxer, energy drink, rapper. Yes he’s drink is Prime, his music is slightly past it’s prime, KSI,” Jack joked.
“He’s a Britain’s Got Talent judge now as well. I love that, KSI judging talent. That is like Stephen Hawking judging Strictly.”
The audience could be seen gasping as fellow BGT judge Bruno Tonioli laughed beside KSI.
Not stopping there, Jack also took a pop at pop band Coldplay.
The comic rereferred to the band, who were nominated for group of the year and song of the year, as the “public school Nickelback”.
