However, many viewers were thrilled to see Olly back on their screens, as one person said: "This is more like it! I Love Olly."
Another commented: "Olly knows how to put on a performance," while a third posted: "Olly Murs should have won X Factor in 09. I still stand by it."
It was the first time that Olly had performed at the annual event as he entertained the crowd. Ahead of his performance, the official NTA Facebook page informed followers the singer was celebrating 15 years since his X Factor debut.
Once he was finished, Olly seemed thrilled with his performance as he was beaming from ear to ear.
Speaking about his performance, Joel said: "Wow, let's hear it for Olly Murs! So good. How good was that? It's nice to see someone who can actually sing and dance, not me."
It comes as the ITV host for the evening kicked off the ceremony in an unusual fashion as Joel erupted into a musical number.
He decided to pay tribute to some of the tv shows and celebrities nominated by mentioning them in a song, which included the likes of Ant & Dec, Davina McCall and Bradley Walsh.
There was also a moment where Strictly Come Dancing's Anton Du Beke joined him on stage to dance.
During the night, viewers saw I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! win the Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Award while actor Toby Jones won for his performance in Mr Bates vs the Post Office.
The Traitors won for Best Reality Competition and Peter Ash won for Serial Drama Performance in Coronation Street.
The National Television Awards is available to watch on ITVX.
