Samantha Fox reveals who was to blame for "worst night of my life" hosting Brit Awards with Mick Fleetwood
Contrary to popular belief, the model explains for the first time why she wasn’t responsible for possibly the most excruciating two hours of live television seen to date on British screens
Samantha Fox has recalled how she took part in one of TV’s greatest live disasters – presenting the Brit Awards in 1989 with 6ft 5in Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood.
The 5ft star – dwarfed by her co-host – remembers it as “the worst night of my life”.
But contrary to popular belief, she explains for the first time why she wasn’t responsible for possibly the most excruciating two hours of live television seen to date on British screens.
Sam admits: “By the end of the night I just wanted to be swallowed up and disappear but none of it was my fault.
“Mick Fleetwood was so stoned he didn’t know what was going on.
“When I gave him a good-luck kiss before the show he stank of grass.
“Then I saw this massive lump of hash the size of a block of Parmesan cheese fall out of his pocket. The lights were on but nobody was home.”
If that wasn’t challenging enough, she said she also had Bros fans screaming at her from the side of the stage.
Sam recalls: “They kept shouting, ‘Samantha Fox, you slag,’ so during one of the breaks I went over to one, grabbed her shirt and said, ‘Shut your mouth’.
“Then the old lady with the autocue, who I think was deaf, couldn’t hear what we were saying and when it stopped working I kept trying to nudge Mick to improvise but he was away with the fairies.
“If you think it was painful to watch, imagine how I felt on stage.
“And it’s all right for Mick. He escaped back to America straight afterwards but I’ve never heard the end of it.
“If I saw him now I’d say, ‘Why didn’t you stick up for me?’ Not that he can probably even remember being there.”
