Anthony McPartlin yelled: "Shearer, this is what it's like to win" at the former England and Newcastle United footballer, who had just lost out in the sports presenter, commentator and pundit category to David Coulthard in the RTS Programme Awards.
The duo told the audience at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London that the RTS awards had seen them receive their first ever award nomination 21 years ago for the BBC children's series The Ant and Dec Show.
McPartlin and Declan Donnelly thanked the producers of their hit programmes I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, Britain's Got Talent and Saturday Night Takeaway.
