Madonna fell over at the Brits, carried on like a pro

With the awards show slowly looking like it would fade from memory like so many others over the years, the 56-year-old singer was suddenly pulled backwards down a flight of stairs by one of her backing dancers.

But ever the pro, Madge continued her performance, with the mishap compounded by the song lyrics she was singing, which repeat: “I will carry on”.
