Mo Gilligan served at this year’s presenter at the BRITs last night (February 8).

The Masked Singer judge fronted the awards ceremony – featuring the likes of Adele and Ed Sheeran – at the O2 Arena in London.

However, some viewers were far from impressed as Mo took over over former host Jack Whitehall.

He also managed to poke fun at Boris Johnson following the recent ‘partygate’ scandal.

Mo joked: “We all love a party. Speaking of parties, Boris, I know you’re watching.

“I know you love a party. Come down my guy! I know you like a cheeseboard!”

Ahead of Liam Gallagher’s performance, Mo also dressed up as the singer and gave a spot-on impression.

However, some viewers took issue with his “constant shouting” during the show.

Many took to social media to share their thoughts on the new Brits host.

How did viewers react to Mo’s hosting?

On Twitter, one said: “Mo Gilligan makes me feel like I’m the kid at the back of the class who’s not paying attention. Stop shouting!”

Another added: “Normally have to turn my telly up but didn’t need to for Mo Gilligan must be the first time my telly has been turned down in years.”

A third wrote: “Someone’s messed with the autocue and written everything in capitals. Only way to explain Mo Gilligan’s excessive shouting.”

A fourth stated: “I love Mo Gilligan but has nobody told him how microphones work? Why you shouting so much my guy, I could take my hearing aids out and still hear every word he’s saying.”

Meanwhile, others called for Jack to return as host.

They posted: “Mo Gilligan is just over doing it, I miss Jack Whitehall on the Brits.”

Stop shouting!

A second critic tweeted: “So Mo Gilligan doing the #BRITs was unbelievably awful, I mean he was right with bringing something different and that was unfunny jokes. I thought funny people was meant to host it, he tried to hard and failed. @BRITs should of stuck with @jackwhitehall.”

Another complained: “Mo Gilligan is a [bleep] presenter, well out of his depth here, bring back Jack Whitehall… #thebrits.”

But other viewers praised the star after taking on the daunting task.
