Ant and Dec mocked in brutal BAFTA joke seconds into show

Ant and Dec were targeted within seconds of the BAFTAs TV Awards starting, courtesy of hosts Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan.

The star-studded evening saw celebrities gather at London's Royal Festival Hall on Sunday, with comedians Rob and Romesh taking up the mantle to host the prestigious event for the second consecutive year. In keeping with tradition, the ceremony was broadcast 'as live' on BBC One, although some winners had already appeared online prior to their televised reveal.

After relegating Stephen Merchant to the back due to his towering stature, they turned their attention to Ant and Dec's placards, placing them a few rows in.READ NEXT: BBC The Responder creator Tony Schumacher hit rock bottom before taxi ride changed life forever
