The National Television Awards are upon us and it's the biggest night in television. It's been an incredible year for television with the likes of Adolesence and Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. And with shows like The Traitors, Strictly Come Dancing and Race Across the World having great series, certain categories will be hotting up. But who will be winning, could this finally be Claudia Winkleman's night? HELLO! will be following the awards along live to bring you the best moments, including all of the award winners.

The biggest moment of the night had to be Gary Lineker's win for TV Presenter. The former Match of the Day presenter broke Ant and Dec's 23-year long record of holding the gong, and joked that it was the "Ant and Dec Award" as he picked it up. In his speech, he reflected on picking up the win due to standing away from the football show after 26 and also shared a small swipe at the BBC, saying it was good to use his platform to speak out for those without a voice. The star stood away due to his off-air comments on political issues.
