Mo Gilligan talks BRITs and how he randomly appears in Jordan and Perri's lives 👀
He's hosting The BRITs this weekend
Last updated 9th Feb 2023
Ahead of his big gig hosting The BRIT Awards with Mastercard, taking place this Saturday (11th February), Mo Gilligan popped in to see the boys on KISS Breakfast, and as you'd expect it was a full of laughs.
While the comedian was really in to chat about his upcoming BRITs appearance, it turns out he seems to regularly appear in Jordan and Perri's lives and the topic of conversation soon turned to their surprisingly regularly run-ins.
Jordan said to Mo: "You keep appearing randomly in mine and Perri’s lives…". With Mo suddenly realising the truth: "Yeah, I do! I saw you the other day!" he exclaimed!
Jordan reminisced: "In the height of the pandemic, I’m doing a job, and everyone had to get tested then. I turned up, I get out of the car, I’m in the car park and all I hear is ‘Ay yo’. I’m scared! I’m about to get rushed in this car park! Turn around and it’s Mo…"
Perri then added: "I was parking my car and I asked a guy for directions, and I was like cheers mate and in the back, I just hear (mockingly) ‘cheers mate’. I was like who’s this guy mugging me off. Turn around, it’s Mo…"
Mo responded: "It’s my worst thing when I see someone, I can’t just say 'hi, hey, what’s up' I always have to do a thing, I need to stop doing that basically."
Listen again to Mo Gilligan on KISS Breakfast:
Jordan then admitted, when he was on The Masked Dancer he thought Mo recognised him instantly. "The moment I walked out on stage, I felt like you knew it was me straight away!" he said.
"I knew that you knew that I knew, so I was staring at you with this massive snake head on!"
Mo agreed, revealing why he thought it was Jordan, saying: "I think the bit that I knew it was you- it was your mannerisms...
"There’s like a thing that you done where you had your hands like this. And I was like I’ve seen someone do this; I know who it is!"
With his vasectomy booked for next month Jordan said he had visions of Mo appearing at the other side of the curtain, with a pair of scissors, but the BRITs host confirmed he DID NOT want to: "Cut your tubes"! 🙈
Mo will be taking to the stage at the O2 arena on Saturday 11th February, where he will be hosting the BRIT Awards for the second time, and the boys wanted to know what we could expect from one of the biggest nights in music.
"It's going to be good! It's going to be live, it's going to be amazing performances, Stormzy, Lizzo, Wet Leg, you've got Harry Styles, so, what more could you ask for on a Saturday night?" Mo said.
"I like a bit of Harry Styles, he's got some tunes man!"
