One Show host Christine Bleakley reportedly offended X Factor twins John & Edward Grimes at the National Television Awards on Wednesday night.

The Sun reported that Bleakley met the boys backstage and made a “cutting” remark just before they went on to perform their new single ‘Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby)’.

Bleakley, who is from Belfast, is said to have told the pair: “You paint a bad picture of Ireland.”

John & Edward were left “devastated” by the remark, though in fairness they had no clue who she was.
