Sam Smith initially made headlines for their “ridiculous” outfit on the red carpet, consisting of huge, oversized shoulder pads and ballooned trousers in a black latex material.
They paired the outlandish outfit with sky-high platform heeled boots.
While viewers fumed over their outfit and performance, Sam Smith had their own “malfunctions” on stage of their £500k set.

A source told The Sun: “Sam’s performance might have appeared seamless but behind-the-scenes it was a nightmare. The whole set was built and ready to go but then a malfunction meant it had to be pulled off.”
“Stormzy was moved forward and Sam was told there was a possibility their performance might be pulled altogether,” they added. “Sam was understandably furious and it was pretty tense backstage.”
