Singer Adele had TV executives running for cover on Wednesday over a middle finger gesture after her moment in the sun at British pop’s biggest awards was cut short for programming reasons.

The 23-year-old was midway through a brief acceptance speech at the packed O2 Arena in her native London when presenter James Corden stepped in to cut her short, prompting the “one finger salute”.

Speaking backstage after the two-hour show, Adele said she was upset by the interruption.

“I flipped the finger but it wasn’t to my fans,” she told the Sun. “I’m sorry if I offended anyone, it was the suits that offended me.”
