<\/p>\nCOMEDIAN Lee Mack has found himself in hot water.<\/p>\n
It all happened during his acceptance speech at the National Television Awards, when he made a joke about Jill Scott.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On September 5, 2023, Lee Mack picked up the Quiz Game Show award for The 1% Club at the NTAs.<\/p>\n
But after taking to the stage to collect his latest trophy, he made a rather crude joke about retired Lioness Jill Scott, who had presented the category alongside Mo Gilligan.<\/p>\n
Brandishing the gong, Lee quipped: "To receive a sex toy like this off Jill Scott is an absolute pleasure."<\/p>\n
It's not the first time Lee's come under fire over his jokes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
In early 2023, he was slammed by a stuttering charity after he mimicked the speech impediment on Would I Lie To You?<\/p>\n
Lee had mocked Rob Brydon when he stumbled on the word, 'she,' and compared him to Ronnie Barker's character Arkwright from Open All Hours.<\/p>\n
After making the joke, Lee took a swipe at TV viewers\u00a0who might be "offended"\u00a0by his comedy.<\/p>\n
Speaking to The Sun about winning Best Quiz Game Show for The 1% Club,\u00a0he said: "My job as a stand-up comedian is to take the mickey out of the contestants.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "I decided never to be too cheesy with it. I just wanted to try to have a bit of a laugh.<\/p>\n "It's just like a gig, especially to 100 people. That was most of my Edinburgh Fringe shows back in the early days to 100 people.<\/p>\n "It's quite an intimate laugh and the one thing is the audience really can take it, you can take the mickey out of them.<\/p>\n "It's the people who are watching who get offended, not the audience. They're always OK about it."<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Viewers immediately took to Twitter, fearing that Lee would now be "cancelled" over the Jill Scott joke.<\/p>\n One person wrote: "Well lee mack is gonna get cancelled now."<\/p>\n A second chimed in with: "Not sure @LeeMack did himself any favours there. Still a big fan of 100% club."<\/p>\n Someone else added: "Watching lee mack trying to be funny is just painful."<\/p>\n However, some enjoyed the speech, with one penning, "Lee mack makes me cry with laughter oh my god."<\/p>\n Another fan said, "Lee Mack proving what a proper comedian can do if you have a bit of talent."<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/72c92bcf-1ad1-4769-af5b-104f73104dee.jpg\")
