After saying the names of each of the four nominees as clips of their work were shown on screen, it was time to announce the winner.
But as the camera came back to Gemma, 19, and Michael, 42, there was a pause where they didn't say anything.
Michael was then heard telling his daughter under his breath to open it.
Gemma then did as she was told and opened the envelope to reveal Emmerdale's Mark Charnock had won for his portrayal as Marlon Dingle.
