NTA viewers are fearing Lee Mack will be “cancelled” after he made a shock joke about Jill Scott in his acceptance speech.
Comedian Lee, 55, picked up the Quiz Game Show award for The 1% Club during the ceremony tonight.


But after taking to the stage to collect his latest trophy, he made a rather crude joke about the retired Lioness, 36, who had presented the category alongside Mo Gilligan, 35.
Brandishing the gong, Lee quipped: “To receive a sex toy like this off Jill Scott is an absolute pleasure.”
But some fans took to X, formerly Twitter, to claim the Woke brigade would come after him over the spicy acceptance speech.
One person wrote, “Well lee mack is gonna get cancelled now.”
A second chimed in with, “Not sure @LeeMack did himself any favours there. Still a big fan of 100% club.”
Someone else added: “Watching lee mack trying to be funny is just painful.”
However, some enjoyed the speech, with one penning, “Lee mack makes me cry with laughter oh my god.”
Another fan said, “Lee Mack proving what a proper comedian can do if you have a bit of talent.”
The 1% Club had been up against Michael McIntyre‘s The Wheel, The Chase Celebrity Special and Richard Osman‘s House Of Games.
It’s not the first time Lee’s come under fire over his jokes.
Earlier this year, he was slammed by a stuttering charity after he mimicked the speech impediment on Would I Lie To You?
Lee had mocked Rob Brydon when he stumbled on the word, ‘She,’ and compared him to Ronnie Barker’s character Arkwright from Open All Hours.
STAMMA subsequently told MailOnline in a statement: “It was disheartening to see Lee Mack and the Would I Lie to You crew mock stammering on Friday night’s show.
“Around 8% of kids and at least 1% of adults stammer. This is our voice, it’s how we talk. The thoughtless ridicule we saw on WILTY offers us a stark choice between being laughed at or being silent.
“We know it wasn’t meant to hurt or offend, but for many who stammer, it does.
“To all those adults and teens out there who stammer, and all those parents who have kids who stammer, know that there are many people who accept that stammering is simply the way some of us talk. Who make space and time for us in conversation and value our fabulous, stammered voices.”
