National Television Awards pay tribute to Paul O’Grady<\/h3>\n

The National Television Awards (NTAs) sparked a backlash with some viewers on Tuesday night, with many slamming the show for its “pathetic” tribute to Sir Michael Parkinson, who died last month.<\/p>\n

The complaints flooded in after the award ceremony dedicated a segment to the late Paul O’Grady, who also died this year.<\/p>\n

Introducing Paul O’Grady’s tribute, host Joel Dommett began: \u201cNow, before we go on, here at the National Television Awards we wanted to remember someone very special.<\/p>\n

“The one and only, Paul O\u2019Grady.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show began to play some clips of Paul’s career highlights, including a brief moment with Sir Michael.<\/p>\n

The video shows Paul dressed up as his alter ego Lily Savage hugging Sir Michael in a brief moment.<\/p>\n

However, while fans were thrilled to see the Paul tribute, others were unhappy the NTAs didn’t give Sir Michael a proper dedication.<\/p>\n

Fans took to Twitter in droves, with @siamese1994 fuming: “Very little coverage of Michael Parkinson. Disappointing really. #NTAs.”<\/p>\n

@AndyGibsonTV complained: “The TV Interview Award should be dedicated to Sir Michael Parkinson, just like the Entertainment Award is dedicated to Sir Bruce Forsyth.”<\/p>\n

@RebekkaHoskins shared: “#NTAs2023 Nothing about Michael Parkinson? But on the plus side, Ant and Dec didn’t win everything. I hope Holly is ok? Sally Lancashire..pure gold. A much better NTAs this year. Was getting very boring over the years with the same winners. Bobby Brazier..what a lovely young man.” (sic)<\/p>\n

@RB_1991a added: “A deserved and worthy tribute for Paul O\u2019Grady. But only a passing mention for Michael Parkinson? Not good enough.” (sic)<\/p>\n

“As lovely as it was to see the VT in memory of Paul O\u2019Grady, and quite right too\u2026 it\u2019s a little disappointing that Michael Parkinson just got a 30-second mention. #NTAs2023,”\u00a0@WildAnieMel pointed out. (sic)<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

@sdyates85 tweeted: “The production team behind the #NTAs2023 is having a shocker. A pathetic tribute to Michael Parkinson and then going to a break straight after Paul O\u2019Grady\u2019s tribute. These 2 people gave their life for television and you\u2019ve shown zero respect. Get better @ITV.” (sic)<\/p>\n

“As much as I loved #PaulOGrady the way #MichaelParkinson was recognised tonight at the #NTAs was shocking,”\u00a0@ents_uk penned.<\/p>\n

Express.co.uk has reached out to the NTAs for comment.<\/em><\/p>\n

The National Television Awards is available to watch on the ITV Hub.<\/strong><\/p>\n
