Exclude specific post from query

Question

In the category post archive, I want to display the last 10 posts and 1 featured post (featured post only on the first page). I can choose a featured post that will be displayed first (user can select manually, its custom field is called ‘category_featured_post’ ). Now if the featured post is the same post that will be displayed in a list, It will be doubled (on featured position and on the list). I can hide this post on the list (if it is displayed on the first page where the featured post is displayed), but now there will be 9 posts on the list instead of 10. How can I display 10 posts in that case?

Custom field category_featured_post is on category, it is a Post Object that returns a single post ID.

Here is the code I have now:

<!-- DISPLAY FEATURED POST (ONLY ON FIRST PAGE) IN BIG TILE -->
<?php
    if ( !is_paged() ) :
        $post = get_post($featured_post);
        ?>
        <div class="tile">
            <h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
            <p><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>
            <a href="<?php echo the_permalink(); ?>">Read post</a>
        </div>
        <?php
    endif;     
?>

<!-- DISPLAY POSTS IN LIST -->
<?php 
    if (have_posts()){
        while(have_posts()){
            the_post();

            // DON'T DISPLAY POST IF IT'S FEATURED
            if(get_the_ID() != $featured_post ){
                get_template_part('template-parts/post/content','archive');
            }
        }
    } 
?>

Thanks to liquidRock and StudioAl for solution!

Exclude post from query:

'post__not_in' => array( $featured_post_id )
