The star-studded BAFTA TV Awards 2022 took place on Sunday night, with comedian and IT Crowd actor Richard Ayoade taking to the stage to host the awards for the third time.
Richard, 44, wasted no time in making fun of the now-infamous incident when Hollywood actor Will Smith, 53, slapped comedian Chris Rock, 57, across the face as the latter hosted the Oscars in March.
The jaw-dropping moment sent shockwaves around the world when Chris made a “GI Jane” joke about Will’s wife, Jada-Pinkett Smith, who suffers from alopecia, before Will stormed the stage and slapped him in the face, and shouted: “Keep my wife’s name out your f*****g mouth” twice.
Referencing the incident at the 75th BAFTA TV Awards on Sunday, Richard said: “In 1955 there were only six categories, there was barely enough time to get up from your seat and slap someone before the whole ceremony would be over.” Get exclusive celebrity stories and fabulous photoshoots straight to your inbox with OK!'s daily newsletter .
