"Michael McIntyre has described how he felt &amp;quot;awful&amp;quot; after fellow comedians made jokes at his expense at the British Comedy Awards. The Britain&amp;#039;s Got Talent judge said that there was &amp;quot;an amazing amount of hostility&amp;quot; towards him - from comedians such as Stewart Lee - following his &amp;#039;Best Male Comic&amp;#039; win. &amp;quot;Quite a few people were making jokes at my expense and it just made me feel awful,&amp;quot; he told Kirsty Young on BBC Radio 4&amp;#039;s Desert Island Discs. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m there with my wife - and she&amp;#039;s gone out and bought a dress - and it&amp;#039;s my big night and I won and the overriding experience was that of nastiness. &amp;quot;For what reason I don&amp;#039;t know. All I was doing was just making people laugh. I would never be rude about somebody else in my profession because we all do this same thing. We&amp;#039;re just trying to make people laugh.  &amp;quot;I think it comes with the territory. I&amp;#039;m sure it does, actually. And I can&amp;#039;t say it&amp;#039;s water off a duck&amp;#039;s back and I&amp;#039;m so thick-skinned, I can&amp;#039;t just say that. I can say it now because I&amp;#039;m getting used to it, but it did come as a shock at the beginning, I can&amp;#039;t deny that.&amp;quot; He added that he is grateful to his wife for keeping him &amp;quot;afloat&amp;quot;. &amp;gt; Michael McIntyre plans Christmas Comedy Roadshow "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
