As the hours-long BAFTA Awards took place in London, a number of celebrities were said to be fuming at the lack of food on offer. The annual event, held at Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in London, celebrated the best in British talent on-screen.
However, for some it’s thought the long show could have done with offering food to those in the seats. Despite being offered drinks, there is said to have been very little food on offer for attendees, which left some stars reportedly trying to source their own.

Dedicating the award win to writer Ryan Sampson, Danny said: “He’s one of the greatest people ever to come out of Rotherham – not saying much. You won this for me mate.”
He then went on: “Girls – Sunni, Dani, I done it,” before breaking the rules, blurting out: “I f***ing done it.” The 47-year-old star’s vocabulary left host Alan needing to say he was “asked to apologise” for the language from Danny.
