The awards are voted for by the public but it’s fair to say a lot of people – especially a lot of people on Twitter – weren’t happy that it beat other shows that were nominated including Fleabag, for example.

The fact that Mrs Brown's Boys could win best comedy gives hope to us all. I could potentially win best squirrel, or best family saloon. https://t.co/mQ1AVaw6yy

In case you’ve never seen an episode of Mrs Brown’s Boys, simply shit in your hands and smear it all over your TV screen. It’s basically the same thing … #NTAs

Lots of people like it too, obviously, and it’s only right that everyone should respect that.
