Harry Hill explained that he had just finished a segment on stage and returned to the wings where Keeley Hawes stood waiting for her own cue.

Unaware that the comedian was within earshot, the actress reportedly turned to a companion and made a candid comment about his act.

Harry Hill noted that she didn't realize he was standing right behind her when she shared her critical assessment of the routine.

The comedian took the criticism in his stride, finding the humor in the awkward timing of the remark.

He joked that hearing such "savage" feedback in person is quite different from reading it online or in a newspaper.

Despite the blunt nature of the comment, Harry Hill expressed no ill will toward Keeley Hawes, acknowledging that his brand of surreal comedy does not appeal to everyone.

During the podcast, Harry Hill reflected on the nature of being a public figure and how common it is for celebrities to have varying opinions of one another’s work.

He used the story to highlight the "bubble" of award shows, where high-profile stars often mingle in cramped backstage areas.
