The Royal Variety came under fire over a "painful" moment in tonight's show.
The world's longest running entertainment show returned to ITV tonight. Lee Mack hosted a star-studded evening at the Royal Albert Hall, which featured performances from the world of theatre, music and comedy.
The event was recorded a number of weeks ago as the Southport comedian joked the audience did not know yet how England had performed in the World Cup. Lee proceeded to record a series of statements which covered all possible outcomes for England in the tournament.
