"After last night's incident and now this morning becoming international news! I'd like to make an official statement, please watch till the end!! @lorraine @reallorraine #BAFTA #JudiLove," read her caption.

The video replayed footage of Judi's eye-roll from the BAFTAs, before cutting to a shot of Lorraine and Judi together in a dressing room at ITV. The two are seen standing next to each other, eye-rolling the other, before erupting into laughter.

Many users commented on the post calling the video of the two daytime TV figures "iconic".

Succession star Brian Cox presented the award to Lorraine, who has hosted her own ITV morning show for the past 30 years.

In her acceptance speech, Lorraine called for more opportunities for people from working-class backgrounds who want to work in television.

"I suppose if I've learned anything at all over the past 40 years, it's what's the point of having all that experience if you don't actually share it, and if you don't actually pass it on, and help other people," she said.

"So I would just say don't pull up the ladder, please make it possible for kids like me from my background, from a very working-class Glasgow background, rise the same from Dundee."

Lorraine concluded her speech: "I'm on the telly tomorrow, but I'm going to celebrate tonight! Thank you so much."

Loose Women airs on weekdays at 12.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX. Lorraine airs on weekday mornings from 9am on ITV.
