Jack was in the middle of giving Vicky and Martin a serious dressing down and he made a number of references to the latest series of Line Of Duty, including Ted Hasting’s famous “Mother of God!” catchphrase.
But Jackie barged in, and it seemed she’d had enough of him rambling on.
Vicky and Martin then took a backseat, as Jackie scolded the presenter before removing him from the video call, in a nod to the incident that made her famous last year during lockdown.
The recorded skit was a prelude to the ceremony that was taking place at the O2 Arena.
And fans loved it – with one writing: “Jackie Weaver, you have no authority to be this awesome.”
Another said: “Fantastic opening to the #BRITs with the #LineofDuty cast, Jackie Weaver and #Coldplay. Where was Adrian Dunbar though, this intro needed him doing a “Mother of God” reaction.”
And one more raved: “the line of duty x jackie weaver crossover was everything i didn’t know i needed”
