Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly look dapper in matching suits as they arrive at NTAs

Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly have arrived at the National Television Awards and posed for photos on the red carpet looking delighted.

The Geordie presenting duo are nominated for Best Presenter in the Entertainment/TV presenter category, and they will be battling it out alongside Holly Willoughby, Phillip Schofield, Bradley Walsh and Graham Norton.

The pair look set to scoop the gong as they have every year since 2001, so if they take it home this year it will be their 19th year in a row.

Ant and Dec wore identical black tuxedos with bow toes and smart shiny shoes, looking excited as they posed together.

It's been a difficult few months for Ant, who is currently divorcing his ex wife Lisa Armstrong in a bitter battle that has seen them fight over custody of their dog, and Ant's whopping £50 million fortune.

Over the years, the best pals have won a whopping 39 awards at the annual ceremony.

Their prizes include 11 wins in the Most Popular Entertainment Programme category and three for Most Popular Reality Programme.

They've also picked up two Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Awards and two Challenge Show awards.

On top of that, they've won Most Popular Quiz Programme and a Special Recognition awards, as well as a Landmark award.

Throughout the years they've won awards for Pop Idol, Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway and Ant & Dec's Gameshow Marathon, as well as the shows they regularly still present.

Just yesterday, Ant and Dec sent out a message on Twitter, reminding their fans to vote.

They wrote: "Not long left to have your say at this year’s #NTAs! You can vote for your favourite shows and stars at https://nationaltvawards.com/vote until noon on Tues 28th @OfficialNTAs"

And it seems everyone is convinced they've got it in the bag.

One told them: "I have voted for you 6 times Good luck, you deserve it!"
