Molly-Mae dedicates NTA award to Rob Burrow after surprise victory over late sporting hero

The reality star and influencer dedicated her National Television Award to Leeds hero Rob Burrow.

Last night the yearly National Television Awards took place which sees British television programmes and presenters go head to head as viewers vote for their favourite to win.

One category was an award for best Authored Documentary, where our very own Rob Burrow was nominated for his third and final documentary ‘There’s Only One Rob Burrow’.

The heartbreaking documentary was broadcast just days after his death and featured his final message of hope that even his own friends and family weren’t aware he had recorded.

Elsewhere on the nominee list was ‘Molly Mae: Behind It All’ which followed the influencer’s recent breakup with Tommy Fury, ‘Flintoff’ and ‘Strictly Amy: Cancer and Me’.

Somewhat unexpectedly, Molly Mae won the award and during her acceptance speech she paid tribute to Rob Burrow and his family who attended the the red carpet in his honour.

Molly said: “Just to be nominated for this award was such an honour. Just to be nominated for this award was such an honour.”

“To Lindsay, Rob Burrow’s wife and his children, his story was far more inspirational than mine could ever be. It was just incredible and touched me in more ways than I can explain. This one’s for you Rob, and to the other inspirational people in this category.”

It’s fair to say viewers were far from happy at the outcome, with many taking to social media to voice their disdain.

One viewer said: ‘Please explain how Molly Mae won that award when the others was much more inspirational. She should not of been in the same category! #NTAs’
