CELEBRITIES PUT ON THE GLITZ FOR TV'S BIGGEST NIGHT

Famous faces gathered at the National Television Awards last week to celebrate the best of Britain's TV talent

It's one of the biggest nights in the showbiz calendar, celebrating the very best of TV. And this year's National Television Awards were no different, with a host of celebrities stepping out at London's 02 arena for a night of glitz and glamour.

Davina McCall, Kate Garraway and Holly Willoughby were among those in attendance, while Joel Dommett returned to hosting duties.

Presenter Davina, 56, who looked incredible in a leather dress, was the big winner on the night, taking home the Special Recognition award for her contribution to the television industry. Accepting the honour, the emotional star revealed, "I love my job, I feel so privileged to be able to share it with you." She also paid tribute to her boyfriend, Michael Douglas, saying, "You make me a better person and you make me so happy."

Good Morning Britain presenter Kate, 57, won the gong for Authored Documentary for ITV's Derek's Story, which followed the struggles she and husband Derek Draper faced as he battled long Covid. Kate was joined by her children Darcey, 18, and Billy, 15, and dedicated the award to Derek, who died earlier this year aged 56, calling it "bittersweet".

Meanwhile, Holly made a triumphant return to the spotlight after keeping a low profile since her departure from This Morning. The 43-year-old left the ITV flagship daytime show last October following a terrifying kidnap and murder plot and only returned to our screens to present Dancing On Ice in January.

Holly, who looked stunning in a floor-length glittery gown, was reunited with her former colleagues Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary on the red carpet before she took to the stage to present the Bruce Forsyth Entertainment award, which was won by I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!.

Hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly thanked fans for their support, but it was King of the Jungle Sam Thompson who stole the show as he took the mic.
