The viewing public appeared to as bemused as those in attendance, with one tweeting: 'When dermot tells us jack and dani are backstage but we see them in the audience #NTAs.'
While another added: 'Somewhere backstage? They’re.. seating..down..like they’ve just shown. #NTAs.'
Commenting on the gaffe, a third wrote: 'Dani & Jack are in the audience, Dermot. They aren't doing anything backstage.'

The blunders continued as Danny Dyer picked up the award for Best Serial Drama Performance, and the actor struggled to hold back tears during his emotional speech, while also dropping an awkward f-bomb.
He raved: 'I can't believe that wow! Thank you! I want to thank all my EastEnders mob over there you're like my brothers and sisters, I just want to say to all you young kids living out there in poverty who don't think they've got a right to dream or hope, do not let that define where you're going in life, you can whoever you want to be.
'I want to dedicate this award to Harold Pinter, he believed in me when no one else did.'

There was further confusion as This Morning won Best Daytime, with O'Leary heard talking off-camera before Willoughby accepted the award with co-host Phillip Schofield.
Viewers could still hear the presenter as he chatted to Old People’s Home for 4 Year Olds star Lily, four - onstage to hand over the award with co-star Ken, 87 - as the nominations were announced.
Gaffe: Danny DeVito, on-hand to present the award for Drama Performance to Richard Madden, wasn't spared the curse of the errant mic as he took to the stag
Baffled: His perplexed voice could be heard as the nominations VT aired, with the Hollywood legend sounding confused as he asked a producer, 'Oh you want me to say the names? They asked me not to say the names'
'We've got to show clips of all the shows,' he could be heard telling her. 'And then when we come back you can go "right, let's do it now!"'

The National Television Awards marked one of the most exciting nights in British TV, with faces from reality, scripted drama and comedy, soaps and quiz shows hoping to scoop a gong.
The 2019's shortlist saw the likes of Killing Eve, Bodyguard and The Cry battle it out as some of the most talked-about new shows of the past 12 months.
Other nominated newbies included Robbie Williams for his maiden turn as an X Factor judge, and Jodie Whittaker for her incarnation of Doctor Who - the first time a woman has ever played the role.
Jodie battled it out against the likes of Killing Eve leading ladies Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer, as well as Bodyguard stars Richard Madden and Keeley Hawes in the New Drama category, freshly launched this year.
However it was Madden who claimed the award on the night for his portrayal Sgt David Budd in writer Jed Mercurio's hit show.
Elsewhere Britain's Got Talent star David Walliams beat Louis Tomlinson, Judge Rinder, Robbie Williams and Simon Cowell for the Best TV Judge award.
As is the case every year, the UK's favourite soaps - Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks - were pitted against one another in the Serial Drama category.
And it was the turn of Yorkshire based ITV soap Emmerdale to enjoy a rare victory at the annual ceremony.
EastEnders did however enjory its own victory courtesy of Danny Dyer, who beat Emma Atkins, Jack P Shepherd and Lucy Pargeter to the Serial Drama Performance gong.
In what was perhaps a shock to some, Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly won the Best Presenters category - a prize they have taken home every year since 2001.
The pair, however, have spent the majority of the past 12 months apart professionally, thanks to Ant's recovery from alcohol and substance abuse issues.
Dec continued his work on Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, Britain's Got Talent and I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! without Ant - yet they are up for an award as a twosome.
Ant will return to these shows in 2019 however.
Popular: Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield picked up the Daytime award at the event on Tuesday evening
The annual Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Award, perhaps the most prestigious accolade of the evening, saw Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, All Round To Mrs Brown's, Love Island and The Graham Norton Show lose to reality TV juggernaut I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
The Comedy category featured several shows that have either aired or are currently airing their last ever seasons this year, among them Benidorm, Peter Kay's Car Share and The Big Bang Theory.
They were up against Jack Whitehall: Travels With My Father and Mrs Brown's Boys, but it was comedy veteran Peter Kay who walked away with the award on the night.
Meanwhile Paul O'Grady: For The Love Of Dogs beat The Great British Bake Off, Gogglebox, Ambulance and DIY SOS: The Big Build to the Factual Entertainment accolade.
The Chase trumped Catchphrase, Pointless,8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown and A League Of Their Own to the Quiz show gong.
Elsewhere the Talent Show award was claimed by Strictly Come Dancing in a tight category that also featured Britain's Got Talent, Dancing On Ice , The Voice UK and The X Factor.
The awards, which were the most exciting and closely-fought yet, handed over power to the viewers, who have been voting since October
