“I feel like everyone’s always looking for the reaction of the person who didn’t win,” Faith told Express.co.uk.

“That’s why they put the camera on you - it’s because it’s sensational.”

“The reason why I did that pretend laugh was purely to draw attention to that. Whatever I did would’ve been analysed,” she added.

“I was genuinely not expecting to win, and I was not unhappy that I didn’t win. I’ve got one already, I don’t need two.”

The singer-songwriter also previously spoke of her disappointment in the male attendees at this year’s Brits for not showing support for the #MeToo movement or Time’s Up initiative.

Speaking to BBC News the singer said: “The only thing I’m upset about tonight is not more men carrying white roses. I think they should have.”

Most female attendees including Dua Lipa, Emma Bunton and Cheryl Cole, carried white roses in their hands or pinned them to their clothes.

We hear ya, Faith.
