During Tuesday’s instalment (September) of the ITV daytime programme, Kate Lawler was sharing the show’s competition details live from the O2 Arena, ahead of tonight’s NTAs.

As the 43-year-old handed back to the duo, Alison asked: “Are we seeing you later? Are you going to be there as well Kate? Please say you are?”
Shaking her head, the blonde beauty responded: “No, babes. We’ve had this conversation already, I didn’t get an invite.”
“Ruined, ruined. Fuming,” Alison could be heard saying in the background.
Kate continued: “I’ll be watching at home on the telly with a bucket of popcorn. Ruined.”
“Absolutely devastated,” the TV personality added.
Alison proceeded to invite Kate anyway, telling her she could come as her plus one.

Kate, who was crowned winner of the third series of Big Brother in 2002, giggled before wishing the pair a good luck ahead of the awards.
Landing back in the studio, Alison muttered to Holly: “That was a bit awkward, wasn’t it?
“I didn’t realise she wasn’t invited. I’m going to have to sort this out. I’ll pull some strings!”
