Line Of Duty is leading this year’s nominations at the National Television Awards.
The hit BBC police series has received four nods, including in the Returning Drama prize and for its three lead stars in the Drama Performance
category.
Martin Compston (Steve Arnott), Vicky McClure (Kate Fleming) and Adrian Dunbar (Ted Hastings), will face off against It’s A Sin’s Olly Alexander and Des’ star David Tennant, who portrayed serial killer Dennis Nilsen in the ITV
miniseries.
It’s A Sin and Des have also been nominated for New Drama, alongside Normal People and Bridgerton.
Former Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan has also picked up a nomination, despite leaving the show in a storm of controversy earlier this year.
The former tabloid editor, who sparked a record number of Ofcom complaints back in March with on-air comments he made about Meghan Markle’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, has been nominated in the Presenter category.
He faces competition from This Morning hosts Alison Hammond and Holly Willoughby, The Chase’s Bradley Walsh, and of course, Ant and Dec, who will be hoping to win the prize for the 20th consecutive year.
Kate Garraway has received a nomination for her ITV documentary Finding Derek about her husband’s battle against Covid in the Authored Documentary category, while Channel 4′s Caroline Flack: Her Life And Death doc has been nominated for best Factual.
Elsewhere, there are nominations for the likes of Strictly Come Dancing, RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, The Graham Norton Show and Ant And Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway.
