Succession star presented Kelly with the trophy, and when he handed the award to the ITV daytime talk show host, she said, “One of the highlights of my career was when Brian told me to eff

‘She’s real.’”

He continued, “Her indomitable spirit has etched her name as an integral part of British daytime television. Her infectious humor, boundless enthusiasm, and genuine, genuine kindness

instantly draw people in, and she truly deserves this recognition tonight.”
