The opening of tonight's BAFTAs award ceremony has been described as "awkward" and "weird" by fans at home. The annual event, which was held at the Royal Fetsival Hall tonight (May 14), saw a host of star-studded names in attendance.
The opening segment BBC One's coverage of the event included singer Callum Scott perform his track Whistle. However, viewers were left confused by the performance and noticed a common theme amongst the famous crowd.
