HAPPY Monday stars Bez caused chaos and tried to grab the microphone from MTV EMAs host Rita Ora last night.

Singer Rita hosted the music awards show at the Co-op Live in Manchester on Sunday evening.

During the show, Rita managed to chat to Bez and Shaun Ryder – and the conversation was very entertaining.

The Hot Right Now singer spotted the pair near her and dubbed them “Manchester’s finest”.

Rita got chatting away to Shaun, but Bez was busy doing something behind them.

Bez then said to the camera: “I’ve just met Rita’s mum and dad – and they are just as lovely as Rita is!”

The host then asked if they were having a good time, to which Shaun replied: “Well just look at me!

“We’re alright, we don’t get wheeled out that often…”

As Rita tried to wrap u the segment, Bez wanted to let everyone know just how great the host is.

"Rita let me tell you how lovely you are,” Bez added.

“You make everyone so welcome, you are a special lady…”

The star then got the crowd to cheer for her as he added: “Rita Ora everyone make some noise!”

Then as Rita walked off, she noticed American songwriter Benson Boone, so started chatting to him.

While they were pair in conversation, it appeared that Shaun and Bez had no idea that they were still filming.

Rita then introduced them and Bez took the mic off Rita and said: “I was so blown away by that performance mate.

“How f***ing amazing! The way he came down on that piano – I thought Elton John is going to be so gutted!”

Rock band Happy Mondays formed in 1980.

The group originally consisted of Shaun, Paul Ryder, Gaz Whelan, Paul Davis and Mark Day.

Bez later joined the band as a dancer.

Over the years they’ve had five albums including Squirrel and G-Man Twenty Four Hour Party People Plastic Face Carnt Smile (White Out) , Bummed and Yes Please.

The band have broken up and got back together a number of times over the years, but most recently in 2012.

Rita looked incredible during the night – and had a total of TEN outfit changes.

The star also broke down in tears as she paid tribute to Liam Payne, w tragically died in Buenos Aires, Argentina after falling from his third floor hotel balcony last month.

The singer, who was close friends with the One Direction star, left fans in tears as she presented a simple video montage in honour of him.

During an emotional segment, she said: "I just want to take a moment to remember someone very dear to us.

 "We lost him recently.

 "And he was a big part of the MTV world and my world.

"And I think a lot of yours at home and everybody in here tonight, the pay was one of the kindest people that I knew ways that you talking about honouring him."

Breaking down in tears, she continued: "And I think sometimes just simply speaking is enough.

"He had the biggest heart and was always the first person to offer help in any way that he could.

"He brought so much joy to every room he walked into and he left such a mark on this world.

"So let’s just take a moment to remember our friend Liam."
