Her co-presenter Dermot O’Leary replied: "When you said it to me, I thought you were joking!"
The star also stated that she should have won the award while This Morning accepted the Best Daytime gong, saying: "I ain’t going to lie but we all know I should have won one of these as well. Bradley Walsh, Graham Norton and the legends that are Ant and Dec are amazing, but let’s be honest, I should have won one but This Morning won one anyways."
