I was only half watching the BAFTAs but I must admit my head snapped up when I heard him say that and I did think, blimey that's a bit rude.

I have read on Facebook today that it was a private joke between friends so I guess that's OK although I still don't think it was particularly funny. In fact the whole show was stilted and dull.

Anyway, he's flounced off Twitter now apparantly and de-activated his account. Oh well...
