8 behind-the-scenes NTAs moments you may have missed

Some of the UK’s biggest TV names were out in force on Tuesday (January 28) night, with soap stars, drama actors and reality TV cast members attending the National Television Awards.

The evening marked the first major British awards show of 2020 and plenty of snaps were taken on the red carpet before the televised ceremony kicked off.

But despite prying cameras everywhere, there were plenty of hilarious and surprising moments that didn’t make it onto TV.

Which is where the celebs’ social media comes in.

When they weren’t busy cheering on winners or enjoying a glass of champers, most of the stars in attendance were keeping fans up-to-date with the behind-the-scenes action on Instagram and Twitter.

Here are all the best moments you missed…
