Queer musician Becky Hill blasts ‘privately educated nepo baby’ Jack Whitehall’s Wetherspoons joke

Queer music star Becky Hill has hit back at “privately educated nepo baby” Jack Whitehall over a joke he made at the BRIT Awards.

The comedian hosted the ceremony this year, and dubbed best dance act nominee Hill a “Wetherspoons Whitney” in a joke where he compared the “eclectic mix” of stars up for awards.

“From the soaring vocals of the Wetherspoons Whitney Becky Hill, to the atmospheric house of Top Jaw with decks, Fred Again,” Whitehall quipped.

Hill, from Bewdley, in Worcestershire, responded on her Instagram story with a re-shared post, which described the privileged backgrounds of various nominees and winners at the BRITs.
