Elsewhere at the ceremony, which took place at the Camden Roundhouse in London on Wednesday evening (02.03.22), Harry Hill led a special tribute to his late friend Sean Lock, who died last year aged 58.
Later in the evening, Sean was announced as the winner of the Outstanding Male Comedy Entertainment Performance for '8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown'.

Speaking about Jimmy Carr's roast jokes as she collected her award, the star said: "That’s a genre of comedy he happens to be the best at, and I think it’s really important that we all protect that genre, even if people get offended by it."
Full exclusive coverage of the ceremony hosted by Tom Allen airs Saturday 5 March at 9pm on Channel 4 and All 4.
