comedian has revealed the savage criticism he heard actress make about him backstage at the .
The star of TV Burp said that despite his success, not everyone finds him funny.
At the 2008 BAFTA awards he was handed his gong by Keeley and Nicholas Hoult, but afterwards he overheard Keeley telling Nicholas she had never found anything Harry had said remotely funny.
He told The Times: 'Keeley wasn't the worst! I once did an ITV special called An Audience With... supposedly a studio full of my showbiz pals cheering me on.
'I remember sitting there scowling like he'd been dragged to a public beheading.'

Harry left TV Burp to front his own YouTube show. Will it fly or flop?
Harry Hill's TV Burp saw him comment on TV clips in his own comical fashion and at one point, he had eight million viewers tuning in.
But he says he was not the highest-paid comedian in the UK.
'I definitely wasn't. Peter Kay rang me up once, fuming and said: 'The bloody tabloids are saying I made £20 million of my last tour. I didn't. I made £40 million!'
He added that his wealth was nowhere near that but regardless, he is pleased his mainstream show was a hit.
Harry said his show, which ran for a decade until 2012 pushed him to the brink of exhaustion with its six-day-a-week production schedule.
He said he once discovered a hole in his windscreen and became convinced that someone was trying to assassinate him, perhaps a response to struggling to deal with fame and the streses that come along with it.
Harry actually qualified as a doctor more than 35 years ago but took the decision to pursue a career in comedy after his stepdad, Tony, died of cancer in 1989, aged 55, deciding that life was too short not to chase ambitions.
The comedian has been married to artist Magda Archer since 1996.
He admitted that the day he met her, he thought she was so gorgeous, sarcastic and clever, but said it took him a decade to persuade her he might be a worthwhile partner.
The pair spend time in London and in their Kent coastal house, where they enjoyed walking their two jackapoos Snowy and Wilson.
Harry spends his days writing jokes and says he doesn't mind not being a household name anymore because 'if he's honest, he didn't like it.'
