Suki Waterhouse managed to fluff her lines while presenting an award at The Brits.

The model, who took to the stage with Simon Le Bon during Wednesday night’s live ceremony, got a little tongue-tied as she handed Adele one of her four awards.

As she opened the envelope and read out the winner, Waterhouse described the singer as the winner of the ‘breast’ British single, prompting an outburst of giggles from the crowd.

Instead of getting embarrassed, the 24-year-old recovered from the situation well, blowing a raspberry and grinning at the camera.

Winner Adele didn’t seem to mind the gaffe either and was in good spirits as she jumped up to accept her award.

The 27-year-old was the big winner of the night, picking up prizes for Best Female Solo Artist, Best Album and the Global Success Award.

Despite her superstar status, the singer proved that she was still as down-to-earth as ever, telling the crowd that it wasn’t bad for a “girl from Tottenham.”

Other winners on the night included James Bay who picked up Best British Male Solo Artist and Justin Bieber who was named Best International Artist.
