It turned out that her bathrobe red carpet outfit was part of a skit to open the show, where a VT showed her being invited last minute to host the show and then rushing onto the London Underground in just a towel to make it to the ceremony at the SSE Arena in Wembley, north west London.

After Eminem's opening performance, Rita - who was wearing the same dressing gown and her trainers - apologised to everyone for not being ready in time.

She shared: "I'm so excited to be hosting this year's MTV EMAs in my hometown. I still remember how much fun my first EMAs was in Frankfurt in 2012, when I performed 'RIP.' I can't wait to get back on the stage to host and perform. Worlds will collide on this global stage come Nov. 12, so get ready.

She added: "We just really want to focus on what the show is about, which is MTV Europe Music Awards. We plan to bring a form of spirit and hope into a music awards show, especially being in London. There are a lot of things that have happened this year, and it's really important to just be proud of where you are from."
