Before the Brit Awards 2015 wrapped up, there was one more explosive performance we’d waited all night to witness… 20 years after she last graced the award stage, none other than Madonna was closing the show and we knew we were in for a treat.

As she trotted on stage dressed as a glamourous-looking matador in her sparkly red and black number, the singer fell victim to her own outfit as she was dragged off the stage by her cloak.

The star appeared to fumble with the large cloak before it seemed to be pulled backwards, making her fall down three steps to the floor while backing dancers looked on in shock. Uh-oh.

But the show must go on and kudos to Madge who quickly picked herself up and dusted off, much to viewers’ admiration. Comedian Jimmy Carr, speaking on the after show, programme on ITV2 said Madonna was “a trooper” for getting on with the performance, and barely missing a beat.

For those who missed the unfortunate mishap, ITV news covered the incident straight after the Brit Awards wrapped up.
