After a wild night of partying following a chaotic BRITs ceremony, exhausted celebrities made their way home in the early hours of the morning.
It was an evening of awkward moments (that eye-wincing Tom Grennan comment being one of them), technical glitches, sweary moments and very unusual outfits.
But the time came in the early hours of this morning for stars to make the long trek back home in the taxi - with some unable to keep their eyes open for a moment longer.
One such person was TV presenter Alex Scott, who had a trusty bottle of Evian water in a cup holder as she sat in the back of a car.

The Football Focus host, 38, couldn't resist shutting her eyes as she relaxed in the cab.
Similarly, despite a late night at the BRITs, Leigh-Anne appeared as flawless as usual as she made her way to an afterparty in her fiery orange dress.
Sam Smith had changed out of their unusual outfit (JAMES CURLEY AND MAGICMOMENTSUK)Earlier on at the glitzy bash, host Mo Gilligan was criticised by viewers over the way he questioned her parenting.
Leigh-Anne and her footballer fiancé Andre Gray, 31, are proud parents to twins who were born in August 2021 - but the star was attending the event clearly without the babies.
Mo asked the singer: "Who is babysitting tonight, because tomorrow's Sunday? Are you going out? Having it large?"

One unimpressed viewer tweeted: “mo asking leigh anne who's looking after the children is literally so annoying when women are constantly reduced to being questioned about motherhood their whole lives. it's not like she was a part of the biggest girlband in the world or anything? #Brits2023.”
