Becky Hill hits out at ‘privately-educated nepo baby’ Jack Whitehall for BRIT Awards joke
During his hosting gig at this month’s show, Whitehall called Hill the “Wetherspoons Whitney”
Becky Hill has labelled 2025 BRIT Awards host Jack Whitehall a “privately-educated nepo baby,” relating to a comment he made about her during the show.
Whitehall referred to Hill as a ‘Wetherspoons Whitney’ during his hosting gig at the March 1 event in London.
Hill has now shared a graphic about the private education of a number of 2025 BRIT winners – Charli XCX, A. G. Cook, The Last Dinner Party and host Whitehall – on her Instagram Stories, writing: “Imagine being called a ‘Wetherspoons Whitney’ by some privately educated nepo baby who has a TV show with daddy the showbiz agent on national TV.
“My parents worked so hard to provide a middle class life for me, even tho they couldn’t afford it, no one gave me a leg up, I wasn’t near London so I couldn’t go to the BRIT School. So if you associate a Midlands accent with a Wetherspoons that says more about the silver spoon in your mouth jolly ol’ boy.”
The 2025 BRITs belonged to Charli XCX, who picked up five gongs – Songwriter Of The Year, Song Of The Year for ‘Guess’, Dance Act, Artist Of The Year and the big one, Album Of The Year.
There was also the moment when Myles Smith flew the flag for independent venues and JADE – fresh from her performance at the Rolling Stone UK Awards – stunned The O2 with another incredible live outing.
