Plan B: Take That Copied My BRIT Awards Performance

February 17, 2011
Plan B: Take That Copied My BRIT Awards PerformancePlan B has accused Take That of copying his performance at the BRIT Awards earlier this week.

The boy band opened the ceremony at the O2 Arena accompanied by a over 50 backing dancers dressed as riot policemen.

Plan B's performance later on also had a riot theme and ended with the rapper setting a policeman on fire.

In an interview with The Sun, Plan B – real name Ben Drew – said he only found out that Take That's routine contained riot police on the morning of the show and that it was too late to change.

He said: "I couldn't believe it when I came in and saw their police. I just saw their shields and said, 'What the f*ck is this?'"

“Theirs was the PG version, though – they were just trying to copy me."

Plan B was named Best British Male at the ceremony on Tuesday, with Take That collecting the award for Best British Group.
