How Brit bosses plan to stop Osbournes from swearing on live telly

Tonight’s Brit Awards will have a 30-second delay to allow producers to censor any non-televisable antics that the Osbounes may have planned. The show, which will see Sharon and Ozzy presenting from two thrones, has had the time delay imposed just in case of any embarrassing moments that Brit bosses see fit to cut out. The duo are well known for their naughty behaviour and with a host of wild celebrities egging them on it would be hardly surprising if they did act up for the cameras – but viewers will miss out.

Um, yes, we know we put the wrong nominations up to start with – we're just too distracted with planning our outfit for tonight. But we're going to go and sit in a locked room and write "We must not copy and paste nominations from the year 1863" over and over again until we learn. Sorry.
