The truth behind Jade Thirlwall’s ‘music manager husband’ has been revealed after they turned heads on the BRITs red carpet together on Saturday night. 

The former Little Mix star, 32, wore a striking denim wedding dress look and was accompanied by a huge figure in a white suit who loomed behind her. 

The man playing her groom was actor Srbo Markovic, who donned a fat suit and huge prosthetic gloves under his suit so that he resembled a giant.

The look was a nod to Jade’s music video for her debut hit Angel Of My Dreams, in which Srbo played a giant menacing figure who represented a controlling music manager.

And while he does stand at an impressive 6ft 10ins, Srbo looks very different in real life – without the prosthetics and bulky clothing.

Angel Of My Dreams takes a scathing look at the music industry – with many digs thought to be directed at Simon Cowell who helped Little Mix find fame on The X Factor.

It features lyrics about selling her ‘soul to a psycho’, which some fans claimed referred to Simon’s old record label, SyCo. 

In the video, she marries a large male figure and sings: ‘Got you a car, got you a house / Got you a suit, it’s Gucci / If I don’t win, I’m in the bin.’

According to Srbo’s IMDB page, he is known for his work in TV shows and films, specialising in stunts, with credits including The Informer, Ghosted, and EastEnders.

Angel Of My Dreams marked his first music video appearance. 

He shared a post of himself and Jade on the BRITs red carpet  to his Instagram with the caption: ‘B R I T A W A R D S 2 0 2 5 @jadethirlwall.’ 

Posting under the name srbinator, he also gives fans a glimpse into his personal life, often sharing photos of his wife and son.

On the night Jade was crowned Best Pop Act, making it the former Little Mix star’s first solo Brit award.

In her heartfelt speech, Jade thanked her boyfriend, Rizzle Kicks star Jordan Stephens, and her ‘Little Mix sisters’ Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock.

Gushing over her former bandmates, she said: ‘I love you so much. I wouldn’t have this award without them. They changed my life and I am so grateful’.

Jade quickly went viral for her chaotic BRITs acceptance after she struggled to climb the stairs to the stage and hid her speech in the front of her dress.

She struggled to climb the stairs onto the stage and needed a helping hand from the Sugababes, who were presenting the award, after becoming stuck.

Beginning her acceptance speech, Jade proceeded to reach into her dress and pull out a folded piece of paper from her cleavage.

She explained: ‘Oh my God! This is my first solo BRIT award! I can’t cry because I’ve got to sing later, but I did do a little piece of paper in case I won the award. I know it’s cringe but I knew I’d forget people. I’m flustered.’

She went on to thank her fans and loved ones for helping her get so far, saying: ‘I need to thank the fans because that’s why I’ve won. 

‘Thank you for supporting me and relentlessly forcing everyone around you to vote for me, I really appreciate it.

‘I want to thank my fabulous team around me, because it really does take a determined village to make a good pop act.

‘My partner Jordan, my mum, dad, my brother and all my family and friends for always believing in me.
