ITV viewers have slammed the channel for airing “woke” celebrity messages during the National Lottery’s New Year’s Eve big bash on Sunday.
Hosted by Alesha Dixon and Jason Manford, the program featured a number of performances from Busted, Take That and Becky Hill.
However, some fans were not happy after a special two-minute clip was played in which various stars spoke about the dangers of climate change.
The video included messages from Idris Elba and Olivia Colman to Hollywood actress Glenn Close in which they spoke about the need for urgent action to save our planet.
Several ITV viewers were less impressed, claiming New Year's Eve was not the time for “woke” news or “lectures” from wealthy celebrities.
