Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly nominated for best presenter NTA for 20th year

Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly are having an epic month.

First Ant got married to the love-of-his-life Anne-Marie Corbett with best man Dec by his side.

And now the best pals are toasting the news they have been nominated for the National Television Awards’ Best Presenter gone for a staggering 20^th year in a row.

While the duo’s hit shows Saturday Night Takeaway, I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! and Britain’s Got Talent are also all up for coveted gongs at the prestigious ceremony.

The pair face stiff competition from The Chase's Bradley Walsh, This Morning presenters Alison Hammond and Holly Willoughby, and former Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan for the sought-after Best Presenter award.

Piers has previously complained that the awards are too repetitive and that “the same people always win”.

Ant, 45, and Dec, 45, have won the presenting award for the last 19 years in a row.

And the beloved presenters could be adding to their collection as they are hotly-tipped to sweep the field again.

In the talent show category BGT faces stiff competition from BBC shows Strictly Come Dancing and RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, as well as fellow ITV hit The Masked Singer.

Last year Strictly took the top prize, but Ant and Dec will be hoping to come out on top this year.

One of the biggest gongs up for grabs is the prestigious Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Award, with Ant and Dec having a great chance of winning with two of their four shows nominated.

I’m A Celeb and Saturday Night Takeaway go up against the BBC’s The Graham Norton Show and popular Channel 4 game show Taskmasker.

I’m A Celeb won the honour last year and Ant and Dec are hungry to hold on to their crown.

“The NTAs produce surprises year in, year out,” a TV insider told The Sun. "Just when you think a show or a TV star is a shoo-in, the voters deliver a shock.

“Changing viewing habits throw a few curveballs into the nominations too. Some of the biggest shows in the running are coming from Netflix.”

From 2010 until 2019 Dermot O’Leary has presented the prestigious awards ceremony, which are decided by the public.

But comedian and presenter David Walliams took over hosting duties last year – and the Little Britain star is tipped to run the show again at this year’s star-studded bash on 9 September.

Other awards up for grabs include best Challenge Show, New Drama, Authored Documentary, Returning Drama, Newcomer, Drama Performance, Quiz Game Show, Serial Drama, Serial Drama Performance, Factual, Daytime and Comedy.
