It wasn’t just us norms who were tuned into the BRIT Awards from our sofas last night. Loads of the entertainment world were too, and they joined in the conversation on Twitter, sharing their thoughts on the winners, losers and dancing houses. Here’s what some of the celebrities were saying from home and from The O2.

The 1975’s performance was one of the hits of the night
How could it not be? The band recreated ‘The Sound’ video live, flashing up negative comments like “punch-your-TV obnoxious” on the screen both on TV and in the arena. Loads of people thought they’d been hacked, which guitarist Adam Hann set straight.
No ITV wasn't hacked. Lol

Everyone was happy for them picking up the award for British Group too
Especially their labelmates and former touring pals Wolf Alice

Skepta had a big night yet again
He reunited with his pal Goldie following the VO5 NME Awards 2017 last week, performed ‘Shutdown’ and caught some people’s eye…

Stormzy had the time of his life too
But his collaboration wasn’t the highlight of his night, apparently
Performing with Ed was one of the best moments of my entire life however meeting @Maisie_Williams made my night, legend ❤️ #StillGassed
— #MERKY (@stormzy) February 23, 2017
His performance drew him compliments across the board, while Victoria Coren Mitchell used it as an opportunity to post this amazing photo…

The @edsheeran @Stormzy1 and the @BrunoMars performances tonight were out of this world #BRITs2017

Bradley Walsh’s name was on everybody’s lips
And not just because of his red carpet love-in with Stormzy.
Did Bradley Walsh just cuddle rag n bone man at the brits?!
— Jessie Ware (@JessieWare) February 22, 2017
One baby popstar left not best pleased with the results
To be fair, if you’re not nominated beforehand you’re probably not going to leave the ceremony with an award in your hands. Logic, Conor.
Leaving the brits!!
Once again awardless…
And nominationless…
and…Fuck this I'm getting drunk.
— Conor Maynard (@ConorMaynard) February 22, 2017
Robbie Williams’ closing set didn’t go down very well…
Maybe it’s because he didn’t play any bangers?!
Just to prove the Brits know how to have a laugh…
Ladies and Gentlemen…
Robbie Williams.

And the tribute to George Michael was resoundingly recognised as a beautiful, heartfelt moment
His former Wham! bandmates Andrew Ridgeley, Pepsi and Shirlie paid their respects to their late friend ahead of Chris Martin’s musical tribute.
What beautiful & moving tribute to #georgemichael #BRITs
