 The National Television Awards is over for another year, but once again it provided us with plenty of drama and glamour. The stars of our TV sets descended on the red carpet at London's O2 for a night celebrating themselves and their colleagues. The celebrities pulled out all the stops including Best Factual programme nominee [Sort Your Life Out] Stacey Solomon, 33, who upstaged partner Joe Swash, 41, in a pink tulle dress. It was truly giving 'She's Barbie, He's just Ken'. Leading the ship was comedian Joel Dommett, 38, who stated at the very start of the show that his wife Hannah Cooper, 32, was nine months pregnant and could give birth any second. Of course, the NTAs host couldn't resist making a joke to set the tone for the evening. 'Ant [McPartlin] and Dec [Donnelly] are on standby… to drive her to hospital,' he said.

As the camera panned to the infamous host, the crowd erupted into a mixture of unsavoury noises, a chorus that Piers, 58, looked less than impressed about. He was at the ceremony in the hopes of picking up a gong for the best TV Interview for his work on his show Piers Morgan Uncensored but was beaten by The Graham Norton Show. Earlier in the night, Piers correctly predicted the outcome. 'They'd all rather shoot themselves than give me an award but, but if it's just on interviews, hard to say that anyone else has had bigger ones that we've had in the last year,' the modest star claimed to PA. Piers was booed (Picture: David Fisher/Shutterstock for NTA) To kick off proceedings the Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Award was given to Gogglebox. Jenny Newby, 67, and Lee Riley, 65, proudly led the thank-you speech, but in their typical down-to-earth manner, they admitted to enjoying a few beverages at the hotel bar! Who can blame them?
