Before the NTAs, I’m A Celebrity hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly confirmed that they would be unable to attend the award show as they both tested positive for COVID.

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! won the Bruce Forsyth Entertainment category at the NTAs.

Danny accepted the award on Ant and Dec’s behalf.

However during his speech he made a comment at Stephen.

He said: “Just on behalf of Ant and Dec, who unfortunately have COVID so they can’t be here tonight, and Stephen Mulhern’s in the crowd so I’m not sure why he hasn’t accepted the award on behalf of them.”

The camera then panned to Stephen who pulled a funny face.

On Twitter, fans were confused, accusing Danny of making a dig at the presenter.
