There’s no rest for the wicked and a host of radio personalities were up bright and early on Wednesday morning after the BRIT Awards 2020.
Leading the hungover stars heading back to work was Ella Eyre, who filmed herself looking exhausted as she dragged herself to the KISS FM studios.
Filming herself in the back of a cab with sunglasses on and her hood pulled up over her head, Ella looked bleary-eyed and exhausted.
Feeling not so fresh: Leading the hungover stars heading back to work after the BRIT Awards 2020 was Ella Eyre, who filmed herself looking exhausted as she dragged herself to the KISS FM studios early on Wednesday morning
Putting the time stamp of 06.59am on her Instagram Stories, she captioned her hungover video, ‘took meghan trainor to the box anyone who knows what that means will know how painful that is’.
She then filmed herself saying: ‘On my way to co-host Kiss Breakfast with Tom and Daisy, tune in if you’re awake. If you’re not… you motherf*****s’.
Meanwhile, Roman Kemp was also up at the crack of dawn for his Capital FM gig, looking very groggy as he cosied up to girlfriend Anne-Sophie Fleury and their pet dog in bed.

He looked out of is as he gazed into the camera, moaning, ‘Back to work in 1 hour’.
Vick Hope had one of the best ideas of all, however, calling in an emergency Domino’s Pizza at 6am.
Revealing she was heading back to Capital Breakfast after just two hours sleep, her radio producer colleagues saved the day by bringing in carb-heavy snacks for everyone to gorge on.
Despite Domino’s only opening at 11am, the radio DJs were able to call in a special favour.

Lewis Capaldi, Stormzy and Billie Eilish led the winners on Tuesday evening in a largely male dominated BRIT Awards shortlist.
Lewis, 23, claimed two awards from four nominations, triumphing in the categories for New Artist and Song of the Year.
The latter nomination was awarded for hit single Someone You Loved, a track Capaldi insisted was written for his late grandmother – not former girlfriend and current Love Island star Paige Turley.
Meanwhile Stormzy, 26, picked up the award for Best Male Solo Artist in front of a star-studded audience that included ex-girlfriend Maya Jama.
Accepting his award, the grime star was quick to reference the gender disparity at this year’s ceremony by thanking the team of ‘brilliant women’ who form his management team.

Rising superstar Billie Eilish, 18, received a nod in the International Female Solo Artist category alongside the likes of Lizzo and Ariana Grande .
And after performing new James Bond soundtrack No Time To Die live for the first time, she claimed her first BRIT Award from former Spice Girl Mel C.
Despite Billie’s success, only four nominations out of a possible 25 in the categories which are not gender-specific featured women.
There were no female performers included in the shortlists for best group or album awards, although English singer Mabel, 23, was nominated for three awards and ultimately claimed one of the biggest of the night – Best British Female Artist.
Elsewhere Dave’s excellent Psychodrama beat stiff competition to win Best Album ahead of Stormzy’s new release Heavy Is The Head, Michael Kiwanuka’s self-titled LP Harry Styles’ Fine Line and Lewis Capaldi’s Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent.
Oxford based band Foals won Best Group after a return to the spotlight with their conceptual, two-part Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost.
The group beat Bastille, Bring Me The Horizon, Coldplay and D-Block Europe to the honour on Tuesday night.
Taking it global, innovative rapper Tyler, The Creator beat Bruce Springsteen, Burna Boy, Dermot Kennedy and Post Malone in the category for International Male Solo Artist.
The lack of nominations in for female artists comes despite a major overhaul of the Brits’ voting academy in 2017 to make it more gender balanced and diverse, with hundreds of new members invited to join the pool.
The awards are voted for by around 1,500 people from across the UK music industry including journalists, record label employees and musicians.
The rising star winner was announced as Celeste late last year, while the producer of the year will be announced at a later date.
The international group and video categories were axed by organisers this year.
