‘Emmerdale’ and ‘Broadchurch’ emerged as the big winners at Monday (4 September) night’s TV Choice Awards.
Both ITV shows led the way with three gongs a piece at the 21st annual ceremony, where the winners are purely decided by the public.
‘Emmerdale’ won all the soap categories, including Best Soap, Best Actor for Ryan Hawley (Robert Sugden) and Best Actress for Charlotte Bellamy (Laurell Thomas).
Meanwhile, the final series of hit drama ‘Broadchurch’ cleaned up, with the award for Best Drama Series and Best Actor and Actress gongs for lead stars David Tennant and Olivia Colman, who played DI Alex Hardy and DS Ellie Miller.
Elsewhere at the glitzy event at London’s Dorchester Hotel, there was a special award for former ‘Great British Bake Off’ judge Mary Berry, who received the Outstanding Contribution To Television gong for her career that started back in the 1970s.
There were also awards for ‘This Morning’, ‘Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway’, ‘Call The Midwife’ and ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ at the ceremony, which was hosted by ‘Pointless’ presenter Richard Osman.
