Realizing she’d been handed someone else’s prize, a surprised Kim told journalists: ‘It says it’s for Pharrell. I was taking pictures with it – I hope no one notices.’

The incident was a recurring theme on the night after a mix-up with award distribution at the annual ceremony saw numerous winners walk away with the wrong trophy.

A source told MailOnline that Nesbitt made light of the error, telling those in attendance: 'They changed the running order at the last minute, so a few of you winners might find you have someone else’s award in your hand. If you want the correct award, go and speak to (GQ editor) Dylan Jones.'

Meanwhile, Jamie Dornan was awarded the Vertu Breakthrough award by Fifty Shades Of Grey author E L James, who will soon be seeing the actor bring her character Christian Grey to life on the big screen next year.

Doctor Who star Jenna Coleman presented her co-star and new Time Lord Peter Capaldi with the TV Personality of the Year award.

‘He’s the ultimate time-traveller and a great friend,' she said of Peter as she took to the stage, before jokingly adding: 'Not bad for someone who is over 2,000 years old.’

He said: 'I have been very lucky to have had the best job in television, and I’m very grateful for this award. But thank god this isn’t actually based on personality.’
