"James Corden has played down the controversy over Adele being cut off at the Brit Awards in February.  The ceremony&amp;#039;s host argued that ITV&amp;#039;s decision to snub the singer as she collected a trophy wasn&amp;#039;t &amp;quot;huge news&amp;quot;, adding that the incident hadn&amp;#039;t come up during promotion of his stage show One Man, Two Guvnors in the US.   Speaking to journalists including Digital Spy ahead of A League Of Their Own&amp;#039;s fifth series this month, Corden said of Adele: &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s fine, I&amp;#039;ve never known such a non thing to become a thing, ever.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve done a lot of press [in the US] in the last few weeks and no-one&amp;#039;s mentioned it. I think they realised that someone didn&amp;#039;t get to say &amp;#039;Thank you&amp;#039; long enough and maybe thought it wasn&amp;#039;t huge news.&amp;quot; Corden also suggested that the Adele scandal pales in comparison to other infamous Brits moments.  &amp;quot;The truth is you want something to happen at the Brits,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;Let&amp;#039;s remember what the Brits used to be, where a story would be the lead singer of Chumbawamba throws ice over John Prescott.  &amp;quot;Is [the Adele snub] really what we should be saying is a great showcase for our musical centre piece of the year? The show we did this year for the Brits, that was a good two-hour music show.&amp;quot; In the immediate aftermath of the incident, Corden admitted to being &amp;quot;quite upset&amp;quot; with Adele&amp;#039;s treatment and was later quoted as saying that he was &amp;quot;furious&amp;quot; with ITV.
