National Television Awards viewers have erupted on social media, accusing a prominent television star of delivering a shocking display of 'rude' and 'ignorant' behaviour during Thursday night's live ceremony from London's O2 Arena.
The dramatic moment unfolded as the cast of a major BBC drama took to the stage to collect their award for Best Drama. While one emotional co-star delivered a heartfelt acceptance speech, another high-profile cast member appeared to completely blank them, turning away and refusing to engage.
Social Media Erupts Over 'Shocking' Snub
Furious viewers immediately took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their disbelief at the awkward exchange, which was broadcast live to millions. The incident has since become the talk of the awards night, overshadowing other winners.
One stunned viewer posted: "Did anyone else see that? The sheer ignorance! So rude to not even acknowledge them speaking." Another added: "Well that was awkward viewing... someone's not happy."
A Night of Highs and Lows
While the evening was meant to celebrate the best of British television, the apparent snub became the unintended headline. The moment has sparked intense speculation about behind-the-scenes tensions within the hit show's cast.
Despite the controversy, the drama series claimed victory in a highly competitive category, beating out other fan favourites. However, the win has been thoroughly overshadowed by the on-stage behaviour that has left the television community buzzing with speculation and criticism.
