I was just about to ask …. Was the category changed purely for him? I would say there are not enough trans artists for the category to be changed like that. Certainly there weren’t nominated any way. Any wonder he has such a sense of self -imortance
Totally agree and about the people they dragged on to present the awards but I blame the writers who missed the mark with every single thing they had to say. Nothing in the slightest bit funny. A total tit show.

It always misses the mark! It did at the Bafta's as well. I wish they would just stick to 'thank you for having me. hope you're all having a wonderful night. these are the nominees for x category'

Their music is for conservative voters? Is Chaise Longue about Jacob Rees-Mogg having a lie down in the Houses of Parliament?

I'm not sure in general but they looked off their bins when accepting their award.

The girl who done the speech when they accepted the first award was strung out like a junkie you’d see outside a train station. Also banging on about women got it when 3 of the 5 members were male

Because Wet Leg are two women who write their own music.The girl who done the speech when they accepted the first award was strung out like a junkie you’d see outside a train station. Also banging on about women got it when 3 of the 5 members were male
The men with them are just part of their touring band.

I'm glad you said that cause when they got up to accept the award my genuine out loud response was 'they want to lay off the charlie'

That makes sense then thanks for explaining. I just thought they were a band and was confused. Why did they let the man do the second speech then

But how do you know all that happened? Also the song Ur Mum isn't taking the piss out of anyone's mum. If anything it's taking the piss out of the boyfriend.
I'm not attacking you by the way or saying it's not true but anyone could make these things up.

This comment explains a little bit about how they were manufactured, too.
So Doug from an Isle of Wight band called Plastic Mermaids came up with the name Wet Leg (which is surfing slang for when you wee in your wetsuit) - he was written about in the terrible song ‘Ur Mum’ - which they decided to use as a title, knowing that his Mum had very recently died. Hope that clears that up.

That may all be true but if so, the Plastic Mermaids gang seem alright with it....a quick google....
The Plastic Mermaids getting a boost off the back of Wet Leg in a recent Guardian article > https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/oct/29/one-to-watch-plastic-mermaids
There's a pre-fame Wet Leg, Plastic Mermaids twitter post here, mentions them and one guy being being kicked out, doesn't seem that bothered >
And there's a defunct website with an interview with member of Plastic Mermaids, Tom Farren, saying how great they are. You can view it if you select to cache the article > http://kureen.co.uk/tag/wet-leg/
All bands are secretly a mess though aren't they?
