The 26-year-old pop star and her friend Nick Grimshaw teamed up to present the award for British Breakthrough Act to Rag'n'Bone Man at the ceremony at The O2 in London on Wednesday night (22.02.17) and caused giggles when she announced to the crowd "the Best Bake-through act is..." before realising her error.

However, she scoffed at claims she'd had one too many glasses of fizz before stepping on stage as she co-hosted the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show this morning with Nick, revealing had no more than a "sip of champagne" because it makes bubbles in her belly.

Rita told listeners: "Can I just confirm I didn't have one drop of alcohol. I had a sip of champagne, and then it made my breath smell funny and I stopped. It's awful. And it makes you bubbly in belly."

The blonde beauty thinks she and Nick were, in fact, "legends" and did a great job at their presenting gig.

She added: "I had a great night, how good are we though presenting like that? I think we are legends. Yeah, all the awards were great but how good was our presentation? It was fun and the speeches were great."

During the radio show, Nick, 32, complimented Rita on how beautiful she looked in her flowing green gown on the BRITs red carpet.

And the 'Body on Me' hitmaker spilled that her pre-show regime consisted of a good night's sleep and swapping alcohol for lots of H2O.

She said: "It's because I slept and I drank lots of water. Apparently drinking water helps a lot of things, your brain, belly, your situation when you go to the bathroom and your skin!"
