— Brit Awards, 2019
"From a secret upcoming film, please welcome your next presenters, Charlotte Everett and Dan Smith!" Everyone gives a massive round of applause while Dan and Charlie walk up the steps. They both wave and smile at the audience before standing behind the podium in the middle of the stage.
"My god London!" — Charlie excitedly squeals waving her hands around in the air — "Me and Dan just literally touched down from filming in Iceland! It's a privilege just to be back here with all of you beautiful people tonight! We have to go back to Iceland and finishing filming tomorrow...but we love you too much to pass on this incredible offer of presenting such a momentous award!" Dan decides to let the lady do all of the talking, since he's already been up on this stage before.
It's actually a really sweet offer.
"I need to say there's so many of you and not a single one knows who I am. Amazing. I love it!" Dan nervously laughs at Charlie's joke. Much to her surprise, as so the does the audience...because it's true.
"If they don't know who you are then let's not even talk about me." Charlie genuinely snorts before Dan leans forward laughing. The crowd laughs along with them while she puts her hand over her mouth in shock. So far the actor and actress are the only ones to grace the stage and entertain the audience. It's funny considering that they're not even trying that hard.
Charlie then leans forwards towards the mic before laughing into it nervously, and continues her speech that she is making up on the spot.
"For those who don't know my dear friend won the Best British Breakthrough Act back in 2014, with his band Bastille." Everyone smiles along with Charlie and Dan.
Compared to the other handful of award presenters, Dan and Charlie are actually likeable and down to Earth. They're humble and they have a chemistry of sorts. Some of the audience would go to the extent and say 'they're a sweet duo'.
"I think we should just shut up and present the award..." Dan nods his head at the cue on the screen. Although this is clearly not scripted, there's a timer with a list of all of the nominees.
"I can get down with that, yeah." Charlie nods we head before Dan looks at her in shock again.
They're an awkward mess, but at least they seem to be having fun.
They don't read the award nominees out since the voice over does, but then it's their cue to speak again one the audience dies down from clapping. "Do you want to..." Charlie holds the winners card out towards Dan.
"Together after three?" Charlie nods her head in agreement. Both of them count to three in their heads and then open the golden card, but Charlie doesn't get the chance to say anything since Dan is over the moon.
"They've only gone and bloody done it again!" Dan laughs completely forgetting about the joint effort.
"And the Brit for Masterclass Album of The Year is...The 1975!" Dan claps his hands together almost immediately feeling happy that the band won...since they deserve it the most out of all of the other nominees.
"The 1975 are a four piece synth band hailing from Manchester and are no stranger to winning this precise award." Charlie then says while she reads the cue machine which sits in front of the stage.
"Their names are Matthew Healy, Ross MacDonald, Adam Hann and George Daniel. This will be their second and finial award of the night." Charlie says again with the four man band quickly walks into the stage. Ross, Adam and George all give Dan a kick hug, they then proceed to quickly give Charlie a peck on her cheek. However Matty, the lead singer, who is so overcome with emotions clings onto Dan for dear life.
"The best band fucking won." Dan almost laughs into Matty's ear.
Once letting go of the lead singer, he then kisses Charlie on the cheek before holding his award up in the air.
Dan and Charlie stand behind them to the side, they both clap along with the audience feeling happy. Charlie, however, is currently going through a rush of adrenaline. She's never been live on British television before so this is a first. Dan however keeps his chin up, like Isla taught him to do, and smiles when Matty acknowledges their fun hosting.
Maybe tonight wasn't so bad after all? Dan thinks to himself while smiling endlessly at Charlie.
