Stacey Solomon hit back as BAFTA TV Awards hosts mocked her husband Joe Swash.
The 34-year-old Loose Women panelist presented the gong for Factual Entertainment at the glitzy ceremony on Sunday (May 12) evening.
Before taking to the stage, hosts Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan introduced her onto the stage and the comedian duo couldn’t help but take a swipe at Joe.
Romesh said: “Next is the award for Factual Entertainment and to present it is the host of Sort Your Life Out.” Rob added: “Which is a bit much coming from the person who married Joe Swash. Could you please welcome the national treasure, Stacey Solomon.”

Before announcing the nominees, Stacey told them: “He’s not that bad.” She continued to tell the audience that she’s excited to be out of the house with her five children “and a Joe Swash”. After going through the potential winners, it was revealed that Celebrity Race Across the World had won the gong.
While the joke about Joe appeared to go down with with the audience, viewers at home weren’t as keen on the presenters. aking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan penned: “Never understand why these two get this job.” Another added: “These two are crap presenters and crap comedians.” A third person wrote: “Those Z List Presenters Who Are They?”
The Crown and Black Mirror lead this year’s nominations, with eight and seven nominations apiece. Meanwhile, Happy Valley, Slow Horses and The Sixth Commandment have all received six nominations, while The Last of Us, The Long Shadow and Succession follow with five nominations.

Lorraine Kelly was left stunned earlier this year after learning she will receive a BAFTA Television Special Award. Her fellow ITV colleague Susanna Reid was on hand to announce the prestigious honour to mark Lorraine’s four decade long career. Upon receiving the news, Lorraine exclaimed: “This is nuts!” Where’s Ant and Dec? This is a prank.” She added: “This is lovely. I’m absolutely thrilled to bits. Goodness me.”

In an awards first, Susanna explained that Lorraine was being honoured for her decades in the industry, her life-changing campaigns and charity work and would receive the gong in a ceremony. It could be a Bafta double this year for Lorraine, 64, with her show also nominated in the Daytime category alongside Loose Women.
