THE Brit Awards was thrown into chaos when host Mo Gilligan mistakenly called Lewis Capaldi the wrong name live on air.
The singer, 26, took to the stage last night to perform his hit track Forget Me.
But the presenter made a huge blunder when he accidentally called the megastar 'Sam' when he introduced him to the stage.
Mo said: "Lets have another performance, it's a singer-songwriter who is the spirit of the Brit Awards in human form.
"Here with his amazing number one single, Forget Me.

"It's the brilliant...go crazy...it's Sam Capaldi."
Lewis did not appear to acknowledge the mistake as he belted out his hit track.
After the performance, Mo quickly apologised after realising what he had done.
He said: "I have to apologise, I did call him Sam. It just goes to show how strong the drinks are at the brit awards, they are not playing around."
Viewers were quick to poke fun at the accidental mishap, while other viewers were less than impressed.
One wrote: "I have to say Sam Capaldi totally smashed the brits tonight!!"
Another posted: "'SAM' Capaldi, what a performance."
A third joked: "Trying not to laugh during his performance after being introduced as Sam Capaldi…."
"Who? Sam Capaldi? WTF! Seriously disrespectful, did you mean LEWIS CAPALDI? Get the guys name right," someone else fumed.
It came after Harry Styles scored one of the top gongs at the awards ceremony - winning the artists of the year category.
