A third chimed in to add: ‘was that a jibe by emma watson at jk rowling? what a QUEEEEENNN’.

Rebel took aim at JK earlier in the night, as she jokedaout her recent weight loss.

Referring to a picture of her at the 2020 ceremony that appeared on screen, she quipped: ‘That was me two years ago and since then I’ve done quite a transformation – I hope JK Rowling still approves.’

Other viewers though criticised Emma and BAFTA host Rebel, for bowing to the ‘woke mob’ by using the prime time show on BBC1 to lay into Rowling.

Watson is best known for her role as Hermione Grainger in the film adaptations of Rowling’s books that has made reputedly her £65million ($85m).

One viewer tweeted: ‘She should count her lucky stars JK Rowling stuck with her. She owes her a heck of a lot, she needs to stop biting the hand that feeds’. Another wrote: ‘Emma Watson, a woman, the feminist that can’t define what a woman is? The one that is famous because of JK?’

The jabs come after JK’s statements on transgender issues were branded transphobic by some fans.

The controversy surrounding her began after she tweetedaout biological sex leading to backlash and a subsequent ‘cancellation’ from the trans community.

In June 2020, she took to Twitter to criticise an opinion piece that used the term ‘people who menstruate’ instead of women. She then continued with a thread discussing biological sex.

She later clarified that she respects ‘every trans person’s rights to live any way that feels authentic and comfortable to them,’ and went on to say she would march ‘if you were discriminated against on the basis of being trans.

‘At the same time, my life has been shaped by being female,’ she said, the Associated Press reported at the time. ‘I do not believe it’s hateful to say so.’

Then, in September 2020, she faced renewed calls of transphobia after it was revealed the the villain in her latest book, Troubled Blood – written under Rowling’s pseudonym Robert Galbraith – is a male serial killer who dresses as a woman to slay his victims.

In the wake of these remarks, Harry Potter actors Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma and Eddie Redmayne, who stars in her Fantastic Beasts films, criticised the author.

In December, Rowling was once again forced to deny that she is transphobic as she argued for sex, not gender identity, to be the ‘basis of decisions on safeguarding’.

Last week, Rowling also accused Labour of cancelling women on International Women’s Day after their Shadow Equalities Minister refused to give the Party’s definition for ‘female’.

Anneliese Dodds said it ‘depends on what the context is’ when asked for the definition by BBC presenter Emma Barnett on Woman’s Hour.

Reacting to the comments, Rowling, 56, posted: ‘Someone please send the Shadow Minister for Equalities a dictionary and a backbone. #HappyInternationalWomensDay’

She continued in a series of tweets: ‘Apparently, under a Labour government, today will become We Who Must Not Be Named Day.’

Alongside criticising Dodds’ comment, Rowling also tweeted a picture of SNP MP Joanna Cherry alongside the caption: ‘This is what a woman who owns a dictionary and a backbone looks like.’
