context_page_description: The Luvvies was an annual spoof awards ceremony that presented celebrities with awards that they "don't want". The awards ran twice, with the first in February 2003, and the second in January 2004. Both ceremonies were hosted by the Scottish comedian Rhona Cameron. They took place at Teddington Studios in London, and were broadcast on ITV1. Award categories included Love Rats, Naked Ambition and Ego of the Year; each category had a shortlist of three celebrities. During the ceremony, the shortlist for each category was read out, along with some footage of each nominee to illustrate the reason for their inclusion. The winner was then announced, followed by footage of him or her being doorstepped and presented with their trophy. Some winners, such as Patsy Palmer and Edwina Currie, accepted their awards, while others, such as Boy George and David Blaine, did not. A few winners, such as Simon Cowell and Jordan, showed up at the ceremony to receive their trophy in person.
  Critical reaction to The Luvvies was generally negative.
