National Television Awards 2026: The winners in full

This year’s National Television Awards – voted entirely for by the British public – have taken place at The O2 in London.

Having been dethroned as winners of the Best TV Presenter category last year, Ant and Dec went home empty-handed for the first time in 25 years as they also failed to win for their shows Britain’s Got Talent, I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! and Ant & Dec’s Limitless Win.

Emmerdale won the annual battle of the soaps, winning Best Serial Drama, with Jeff Hordley – aka Cain Dingle – taking Best Serial Drama Performance ahead of EastEnders‘ Paul Bradley and Coronation Street‘s Sue Devaney.

Elsewhere, Strictly Come Dancing was named Best Talent Show, Mrs Brown’s Boys was crowned Best Comedy and The Celebrity Traitors took home Best Reality Competition.
