I'm sorry that Paul didn't win an award too but I don't think it's a fix by ITV - if it was, then surely they'd give the award to This Morning rather than another Channel 4 show? I don't think ITV themselves count the votes anyway.
I had a feeling that Deal or No Deal would win as the papers seemed to be tipping DOND to win, plus it beat Paul's show to take the daytime award at the TV Quick awards. It's also the first year that it's been nominated for an award, and popular shows tend to win awards in their first year.
It's a shame but I'm sure Paul won't be upset by this as his show has won every award going, which not many shows manage to do
