One user took to X, formerly known as Twitter and wrote: "Things that deserve BAFTA awards more than TOWIE/MIC: a 15 minute close up of a toenail, a fox regurgitating Nigel Farage's tummy mud and Jam."

Another added: "I mean no disrespect to anyone here but how the heck do we live in a world where #TOWIE has a Bafta."

"Three most ridiculous things about 2011: BigBrother creator knighted, TOWIE got BAFTA, McDonalds sponsors 2012 Olympic games," penned a third.

She took numerous digs at the Royal family, one which saw her sharing: "What a year we’ve had. A royal baby born.

"I’m not saying there was pressure on Kate to look perfect afterwards but apparently she couldn’t hear if it was a boy or a girl over the sound of the hair dryer."

Watchers took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to air their complaints about Sue.

One user wrote: "Sue Perkins looks/sounds like she’s really enjoying herself.

"Shame the same can’t be said for the audience and viewers. #SelfIndulgent."

Whilst another added: "Not funny at all."

"I love Sue Perkins but her monologue was cringe. That kate middleton hair dryer joke! #BAFTATV," penned a third.

In 2019, Graham Norton returned to host the Baftas after Sue's disaster.

However, this time, one celebity in particular didn't take too kindly to his joke.

Graham took a dig at comedian Seann Walsh whilst Strictly host Tess Daley was in the crowd.

Referencing Seann's kiss with his pro partner Katya Jones, Graham said: "A more forensic and detailed interrogation of times, dates and mobile phone data hasn’t been seen since that time Seann Walsh got home late from Strictly practice."

Former dance partners Katya and Seann found themselves embroiled in a massive scandal when they were photographed kissing.

And Tess appeared unimpressed by the joke. She could be seen with a disapproving expression as the camera panned to her.

Both were in relationships at the time, with Seann dating Rebecca Humphries and Katya married to Neil Jones.
