Or will it be Jack Whitehall, who’s landed the job of hosting this year’s event, coming once again from London’s O2 Arena? Admittedly, hosting the The Brits these days isn’t quite the poisoned chalice it used to be – mostly because it’s become a way slicker, more polished production – but even so, it’s still not an easy crowd to handle.

Even so, she’ll almost certainly need her head examined at some point in the not-too-distant future, following her decision to hand him all her Underworld shares as a thank-you prezzy. “It seems only fair,” she reckons...
