Strictly Come Dancing waltzed away with the top prize in the talent show category in a big boost for the BBC amid a whirlwind of controversy over how contestants are treated.
The show beat out competitors including MasterChef, Britain’s Got Talent, The Great British Bake Off and The Voice UK to win the gong.
Head judge Shirley Ballas said: “I’m absolutely, totally honoured to be part of Strictly’s 20th year because it’s a show that brings families together. I think it’s a staple in people’s homes.”
Giovanni Pernice left Strictly this year after nine years following an official complaint made against him by his 2023 partner, Amanda Abbington.
Amanda, who quit the hit show early last year, has called Giovanni’s behaviour towards her “abusive”- but the Italian has denied any wrongdoing.
Then, fellow pro Graziano Di Prima was sacked when video footage emerged of him allegedly kicking his celebrity partner, Zara McDermott.
Earlier, comedy duo Ant and Dec made history as they won the NTA award for Best Presenter for the 23rd year in a row.
In a humble speech, Ant said: “I know we’re not going to win it one year.”
And Dec also revealed that instead of hitting the after parties, he’ll be going home ready for “the school run”.
Holly Willoughby was seen beaming earlier as she presented the award for the Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Award to I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here.
It is the first time Holly has appeared on TV since leaving This Morning last year.
Graham Norton proudly presented the first award of the night to Sort Your Life Out as they scooped the prize in the Factual Entertainment category.
