Ant and Dec share loving embrace as they win National Television Award for best presenter for 19th time

Ant and Dec snapped up yet another presenting prize at tonight's National Television Awards (NTAs).

The pair won the award for best television presenter for the 19th time.

The Britain's Got Talent hosts were hoping to make it 19 at this year's awards, where they faced competition from Graham Norton, Bradley Walsh, Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.

And they claimed victory once again.

Accepting the award, Ant said: "On the way in we had our chat, as we would normally do, about this being the year we don't win it.

"We were like: 'It's been a great run - we are very lucky to do what we do.'

"And then you go and do this again... Thank you.

"We are more grateful and more humble as the years go on, and we really do thank you from the bottom of our hearts."

Dec added: "Thank you. It never gets easier here. If anything you feel more and more sick. Thank you to everyone who voted. Hopefully see you next year."
