Beep Predicts the Brits

Tonight will see the 2022 Brit Awards ceremony taking place at the O2 Arena, in London. Playing host this year is none other than Mo Gilligan and the event will be televised live on ITV for those wanting to watch a who’s who in popular music battle for a coveted award.

With performances from the likes of Anne-Marie, Sam Fender, Adele and Ed Sheeran, this year’s event promises to be quite a spectacle. But what about the nominees? Usually, the performers at the event indicate who is in the running to nab themselves a Brit but will this year be different? Probably not.

Anyhow below is a look at who we predict to take home a bit of silverware for their mantlepiece this year.
