The show must go on
Despite landing on her knees and her voice wobbling, she continued as if nothing had happened. Anne-Marie rushed to Twitter after her performance to express her disappointment at her tumble. She admitted that it had hurt and informed her fans:
Didn’t need my left ankle anyway.

Brave in the face of injury
For the rest of her performance, she was joined by KSI. TheVoice UK coach then exited the stage, leaving KSI to perform his smash song Holiday. Meanwhile, fans of the Brit Awards have praised Anne-Marie for remaining composed and continuing to perform her song. A fan wrote:
