He took to Twitter to talk about being booked by "shrieking banshees" as well as complaining about not winning an award.
The 58-year-old broadcaster flashed a smile when host Joel Dommett, 38, pointed him out in the audience. But when cameras cut to the former Good Morning Britain host, the live arena audience erupted into boos.

Thanks for a great night @OfficialNTAs."
