Bleary-eyed television personalities, including Olivia Attwood and Tina O'Brien, were seen leaving the National Television Awards (NTAs) at London's O2 Arena on Tuesday evening, following a night of celebrations.
The stars of British television departed after a night of drinking and celebrating at the ceremony, an event known for its late-night festivities. Attwood, 35, who made her red carpet debut with boyfriend Pete Wicks at the event, was seen heading home after presenting an award.
Tina O'Brien, 43, was also observed departing, retaining her glamorous appearance and accompanied by a bottle of beer in her car's cup holder. Fellow "Love Island: All Stars" contestants Lucinda Strafford and Sean Stone were seen interacting with bar staff as they left the venue.
Other notable attendees included Olivia's friend Georgia Harrison, Angela Griffin and her companions, and Lisa Hogan from "Clarkson's Farm." Hogan was seen leaving with a bouquet of flowers, a possible acknowledgment of her show's award win.
Awards Highlights
The awards ceremony saw several key wins. David Attenborough received the award for Best Presenter, marking the second consecutive year Ant and Dec did not receive the accolade, having previously held the record for 23 years. Attenborough's producer, Mark Brownlow, accepted the award on his behalf, delivering a speech that highlighted the dangers of climate change.
"This Morning" continued its winning streak, with hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard accepting the award for Best Daytime show. "Strictly Come Dancing" secured the award for Best Talent Show, and "Celebrity Traitors" won in the Reality Competition category.
"Clarkson's Farm" earned the Reality Docuseries gong. During the winners' press conference, Jeremy Clarkson, who revealed earlier this year he was in remission from prostate cancer, commented on his illness, calling it "annoying" as it caused him to miss harvest time.
Lee Mack's "The 1% Club" received an award, with Mack attending the ceremony with his children. "Michael McIntyre's Big Show" won the Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Award. The cast of "Mrs Brown's Boys" expressed their joy at winning Best Comedy Show, a significant win for Brendan O'Carroll, who had to cancel festive specials after breaking his jaw. "Gogglebox" was awarded the Factual Entertainment gong.
Drama and Documentary Accolades
For the first time in NTA history, all nominees for Best Drama Performance were women, with Vicky McClure ultimately winning for her role in "Trigger Point." The award for New Drama went to "I Fought the Law." "Our Girls: The Southport Families" received the Authored Documentary award. "Call The Midwife" was named Best Returning Drama, "Emmerdale" won Best Serial Drama, and Jeff Hordley secured the Serial Drama Performance award.
Members of the "Mrs Brown's Boys" cast shared their delight in winning, especially for O'Carroll, who was unable to attend. They confirmed that a new series is scheduled for the following year.
