National Television Awards 2026 Winners, Performances And Everything You Might Have Missed

This year’s National Television Awards gave us laughs, tears, surprises and plenty of A-list red carpet moments.

Held at London’s O2 Arena on Tuesday night, the awards show celebrated some of the biggest accomplishments in the world of TV from the past year, with winners including Alan Carr, Sir David Attenborough and Vicky McClure.

But as we all know, an awards show like the NTAs is rarely just about the winners.

From the red carpet to on-stage antics and backstage drama, here’s everything you might have missed from this year’s ceremony…

Let’s start on the red carpet, where Katie Price went all out around 24 hours after undergoing her most recent cosmetic surgery

Katie was joined on the red carpet by her eldest daughter Princess Andre, who certainly lived up to her name in this elaborate ensemble

The red carpet was also the site of a reunion between this year’s Traitors cast

As we all know by now, Big Brother host AJ Odudu never misses when there’s a red carpet involved

Amanda Holden opted for something a bit daring on the NTAs red carpet

While Tulisa seized the opportunity to make a bold statement about her past scandals

Reality TV stars Pete Wicks and Olivia Attwood shared a sneaky kiss as they made their way into the event

Sir David Attenborough beat some stiff competition to be named Best Presenter over Ant and Dec, Alison Hammond, Stacey Solomon and Claudia Winkleman (producer Mark Brownlow accepted the award on behalf of the national treasure)

Vicky McClure was very excited about coming out on top in the all-female Drama Performance category

Jeremy Clarkson dedicated his win to British agriculturalists, claiming his victory represented ‘a vote for farmers’…

And the show’s former host Holly Willoughby made a rare return to ITV to present the prestigious Authored Documentary prize to Our Girls: The Southport Families

Alan Carr had a big night, and was clearly taken aback to be announced as the surprise recipient of the Special Recognition title

The top winner of the night, though, was Emmerdale, winning both Best Serial Drama and Best Serial Drama Performance for long-serving cast member Jeff Hordley, better known to viewers as Cain Dingle
