'Ivan, any bets?' - Brentford star Toney teased by Vick Hope over eight-month football ban on stage at Brit Awards just hours after starring in draw with Chelsea

The English striker presented the Producer of the Year award to musician duo Chase & Status at O2 Arena in London. Just before the ceremony commenced, Toney was taunted by fellow presenter DJ Vick Hope as the duo were interacting with the crowd.

Referring to the player's eight-month ban which was handed to him in May last year after admitting to 232 breaches of FA betting rules, DJ Hope asked him on stage, "We are so pleased to be presenting the award for Producer of the Year. Ivan, any bets on who it could be?”

The Bees star, in turn, responded awkwardly as he said, "Damn, too soon, too soon."

The 27-year-old forward returned to action in January and has since then appeared in eight Premier League games for his club, where he scored four times. He has been linked with a move away from Brentford in the summer with long-time admirers Arsenal and Chelsea keen on signing the striker.

He will be next seen in action on Saturday as Thomas Frank's side take on giants Arsenal in a vital Premier League clash at the Emirates.
