The National Television Awards has been and gone, but we can still re-live the best bits!

For all those who watched it last night, you'll know that the NTA's 2014 was a show-stopper, with Ant & Dec (unsurprisingly) being the big winners of the night. Every year the Geordie duo rack up a ton of awards (their awards cabinet must be overflowing) and now they have another 3 to add to their collection. The other nominated presenters didn't have a chance winning the award for Entertainment Presenter, with Ant & Dec making it their 13th consecutive win! They also won best Entertainment Programme for I'm A Celebrity... Me Out Of Here!, with all the 2013 cast in attendance.

As if that wasn't enough, they won their very own special award, the Landmark Award, for 25 year in the business. The duo got very emotional, stating it had come as a total shock, 'Neither of us would be here if it wasn't for each other' -Dec. 
 Ant celebrated their victory by joining the new craze and taking a selfie on stage, with Dec commenting, 'You couldn't have done that 25 years ago.'
I think we can all say that Ant & Dec truly deserve all their success and hope their NTA reign continues for years to come.

There was another big winner of the night with Coronation Street collecting the award for Serial Drama and Julie Hesmondhalgh, who plays Hayley Cropper, winning Serial Drama Performance. After the huge, moving storyline between Hayley and Roy came to a conclusion this week, David Neilson, who plays her on-screen husband Roy, joined Julie on stage to accept her award. Hesmondhalgh declared, 'We said that if either of us were lucky enough to get this we'd come up together, because there ain't no Hayley without Roy and there ain't no Roy without Hayley.'

Doctor Who collected two awards on the night, Best Drama and The Doctor himself, Matt Smith, bagged Drama Performance. Unfortunately Matt wasn't in attendance to collect his award as he is currently starring in West End show, American Pyscho. These awards were a fantastic way to celebrate the shows 50th anniversary and Matt Smith's exit, after three years playing the doctor. 2013 showed the doctor's regeneration into the new doctor, Peter Capaldi, who we will see on our screens shortly.
