Tom Grennan says he’s sorry: Tit-gate was caused by nerves | show

‘Shame on Tom!’ was one of many backlashes on social media. “What started out as a joke between me and Ellie before we went on stage went completely wrong,” Grennan said.

“Nerves got the better of me, but that doesn’t justify what was said,” says Grennan, who offers his “deepest apologies” to “anyone who may have been offended.” “This is not who I am and I’m sorry.”

Grennan, 27, received an award at the Brit Awards along with Goulding. Before the duo did, she told Goulding, 36, onstage: “It’s okay what you’re wearing, are your real breasts?” The singer wore a detailed bust in which her breasts were clearly visible. “These are not mine,” Goulding said. “I wish mine was much further apart.” So Grennan apologized. “I’m sorry,” she said three times.

Viewers of the awards show believe Grennan’s comment is inappropriate. “I’m furious that Ellie was spoken to like that,” writes one person. Another: ‘Why does Tom Grennan think this is appropriate? I didn’t know we still asked women about his breasts. Others called the comment “unnecessary and inconvenient.”

Goulding himself doesn’t seem to be bothered by the joke. On Twitter, she writes: ‘About the BRITs / tit-gate… I wore a beautiful chest, thanks for appreciating. My friend Tom Grennan is 100 percent an ally and we have fun together. I was not offended at all, he meant no harm, and no other interpretations are necessary.
