Taking to X they fumed: 'Sorry for who is sitting behind Paloma and that hat': 'I'd be pretty p****d off if I was sat behind Paloma Faith in that hat': 'Thoughts and prayers for whomever is sat behind Paloma Faith tonight at the BAFTAs. They're not going to see anything on stage as she's wearing Admiral Nelson hat on her head'
'How f*****g inconsiderate and entitled do you have to be to wear that massive had? I'd be p****d sitting behind her'.

Stephen wiped away tears as Christine took to the stage and said: 'I hold this BAFTA high to Hannah Walters and Stephen Graham, thank you so much'.
The Netflix series also won in the Limited Drama category, beating the shows; Fought The Law (ITV), Trespasses (Channel 4) and What It Feels Like For A Girl (BBC Three).
Owen said of his win: 'Every time we are at these events and your name gets called out your mind flashes back to your first audition, the first time on set, the first time you met the cast, it's been an unreal two years. I'm just grateful to everyone who is here today.'
When asked how it's changed his life and what he wants to do next he said: 'I don't know what I want to do next. It's changed my life because I've met all these beautiful people, me and my family have travelled the world, so it's just amazing.
'Erin [Doherty] was the first person that I ever worked with so it was a dream to film. It was hard to do, I'm not doing to stand here and say it was easy, it was hard to do that in front of a stranger I have never met but Erin and the crew were so kind.'
Producer Mark Herbert of Warp films said: 'Big thanks to Stephen Graham for bringing this gang together. The script ripped our hearts and it punched us in the guts'. He also thanked Netflix boss Anne Mensah who had picked up the project after Amazon Prime Video had passed on it.'
Amandaland starring Lucy Punch won the BAFTA for scripted comedy. The show follows the demise of Motherland's snooty Queen Bee, who has moved from a lavish life in well-to-do Chiswick to becoming a single mother in the less-than-desirable South Harlesden - which she christens 'SoHa'.
Writer Holly Walsh said she loved when people said they watched the show with their children.
