The National Television Awards, more commonly known as the NTAs, returned on 5 September as the who's who of the small screen descended upon London's o2 Arena with hopes of winning the top prizes. Hosted by Joel Dommett, whose wife Hannah Cooper is due to give birth any day now [1], the evening always promises make us smile.
All awards are voted for by the public and there was some fierce competition. "The Traitors [2]" faced "Love Island [3]" in the best reality competition, "Queen Charlotte [4]" took on "Wednesday [5]" for best new drama, and Alison Hammond [6] was up against 43-time NTA winners Ant and Dec for best presenter.
While the focus of the night might be on the awards themselves, we all know the real scoop is on the red carpet. Holly Willoughby arrived in a lilac strapless gown while "Strictly Come Dancing"'s Amy Dowden made a poignant nod to her breast cancer diagnosis by wearing a breast cancer pin on her pink dress.
