It’s almost time for The BRIT Awards 2016, with the ceremony always managing to hit the headlines for all the wrong (or is it right?) reasons.
While the night should be about the winners, some showbiz folk just can’t help stealing the spotlight (*cough, cough* Kim Kardashian), whether it be for outrageous wardrobe malfunctions or cutting short acceptance speeches.
From THAT Michael Jackson and Jarvis Cocker moment, to Beyoncé’s booty shaking, to Harry Styles’ epic fail in 2012 or Madonna’s unfortunate cape incident, The BRITs is never short of stirring up some drama.
Check out some of our favourite BRIT Award show stealers of all time below...
17 Of The Most Shocking BRIT Award Show Stealers Ever!

Whether it be for outrageous wardrobe malfunctions or cutting short acceptance speeches, the BRIT Awards always managing to hit the headlines and here's 17 of the biggest show stealers...
-
1. There's probably no bigger shocking show stealer than Jarvis Cocker who invaded the stage during Michael Jackson's performance of 'Earth Song' in 1996. We still can't watch...
-
2. In 1997, Geri Halliwell totally owned the BRITs from her tiny Union Jack dress to her skin-tight red sequin gown, which caused her to have a nip-slip when walking on stage to accept their award!
-
3. Labour's John Prescott inadvertently stole the show in 1998 when Chumbawumba (remember them?) star Danbert Nobacon threw a bucket of ice over him for no reason.
-
4. In 2000, small-time DJ Brandon Block had a few too many lemonades, with his friend convincing him he'd just won a BRIT! He hadn't and presenter Ronnie Wood threw a pint of beer in his face. Epic fail.
-
5. Cast your mind back to 2001 where Craig David had a record six nominations but ended up 'Walking Away' with none! He then performed hit single 'Fill Me In' complete with the line: "Six nominations, no BRITs for CD!" Sad face…
-
6. Back in 2004, the night belonged to Beyoncé who made her solo debut at The BRITs, performing 'Crazy In Love', which left us crazy for Queen B. SLAY!
-
7. It was 2007 and James Morrison had just won the award for Best British Male but, Devon-born presenter Joss Stone managed to steal his thunder after seeming to develop an American accident before our very eyes! Awkward…
-
8. Forget Ozzy, 2008 was ALL about Sharon Osbourne stealing the spotlight from her foul-mouth rants to accusing comedian Vic Reeves of being a "p***head". The night belonged to Shazza.
-
9. The BRITs is well known for it's odd duets, with the Pet Shop Boys and Brandon Flowers performing with a little known singer called Lady Gaga in 2009, who inevitably went on to steal every show from then on.
-
10. All eyes were on Cheryl in 2010 following her split from Ashley Cole, with the star putting on a feisty performance of 'Fight For This Love'. That showed him, Chezza…
-
11. One Direction's Harry Styles managed to cause controversy in 2012 by thanking Radio 1 instead of Capital FM when accepting the Best British Single gong. As you can expect, Capital were thrilled...
-
12. Known for her usual raunchy outfits, in 2012, Rihanna stunned everyone by performing song 'We Found Love' in just a jumper and caused quite the mess after getting covered in paint.
-
13. Four-time BRITs host James Corden knows how to steal the show from interrupting Adele's winner's speech to taking this selfie with Prince, he really was the host with the most!
-
14. Alex Turner sure knew how to make The BRITs about him in 2014 after accepting the Best Album award and giving a speech about the resilience of rock ’n’ roll. We particularly enjoyed the mic drop at the end.
-
15. When David Bowie won the award for Best Male in 2014, he still managed to steal the show by sending Kate Moss to accept the trophy, dressed in one of his iconic outfits.
-
16. Who can forget the moment Kim Kardashian presented Sam Smith with his award at last year's bash. From her racy black catsuit, to taking a selfie with hosts Ant and Dec - Kim, we salute you!
-
17. Ok, we need to talk about THE cape. Madonna stole the show in 2015 and not for her performance of song 'Living For Love'. Instead, Madge was yanked down some stairs after failing to take her cape off in time… Oops!
