Bafta Awards - saying a man would have been "abused, shamed and cancelled" if he had cracked some of the jokes she did. The Australian actress also suffered a backlash from viewers who branded her "unfunny" and said they were "cringing" at her gags on Sunday night (March 13).

Rebel cracked a joke about Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith’s much-publicised open relationship after he won the award for Leading Actor for his performance in King Richard.

He was absent from the ceremony, so the film’s director Reinaldo Marcus Green accepted the award on his behalf. Joking about Smith’s win, Wilson said she thought his “best performance in the past year was being OK with all his wife’s boyfriends”.

When the crown groaned, she said: “Come on, he never showed up!” Read more Bafta viewers demand change to next year's ceremony after spotting the same thing Piers took to Twitter with his own opinion about the host, writing: "I’m cringing so violently watching Rebel Wilson attempt to host the #BAFTAs that I fear my eye sockets may explode.
