- The BBC failed to remove the incident from both the live broadcast and its iPlayer version, prompting apologies from both the BBC and Bafta to those affected.
- Davidson stated he was "deeply mortified" if anyone believed his involuntary tics were intentional or carried any meaning.
- Cumming criticised Bafta's "bad, bad, bad, bad leadership" for their lack of preparation, stating he was unaware of the severity of the incident when asked to read an apology during the show.
