The best in UK television has been honoured at the National Television Awards 2025.

Stars flocked to the O2 Arena in London for the NTAs on Wednesday night (10 September), with Elizabeth Hurley and her new beau Billy Ray Cyrus walking the red carpet, as well as TV presenters Davina McCall, Maya Jama and Alison Hammond.

Former Match of the Day host Gary Lineker won the TV presenter prize, breaking the 23-year streak of hosting duo Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.

Lineker, 64, was shortlisted for the award just months after his early exit from the BBC show in May, following a row after he shared a post about Zionism which featured a depiction of a rat – historically an antisemitic insult.

Collecting the award, he said: “I think it demonstrates that perhaps it’s okay sometimes for us to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice.”

Former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson took home the best factual entertainment show prize at the ceremony for his Amazon series Clarkson’s Farm, beating out Gogglebox, The Martin Lewis Money Show, and Stacey Solomon’s two programmes, Sort Your Life Out and Stacey & Joe.

Adolescence star Owen Cooper, 15, won best drama performance for his portrayal of schoolboy Jamie Miller in the acclaimed Netflix series, beating his co-star Stephen Graham, Tom Hardy for his role in MobLand, Vera’s Brenda Blethyn and Code of Silence’s Rose Ayling-Ellis.

Adolescence, praised for highlighting the dangers of the misogynistic online manosphere, also won in the New Drama category against the Jilly Cooper adaptation Rivals, Guy Ritchie’s MobLand, crime series Code of Silence and the detective mystery show Ludwig.

Elsewhere, Call The Midwife was named best returning drama and EastEnders actor Steve McFadden, who has played the Walford legend Phil Mitchell for 35 years, won the award for serial drama performance.

Former Love Island contestant Molly-Mae Hague won in the Authored Documentary category for Molly-Mae: Behind It All, an unfiltered look into her life during her brief breakup with boyfriend Tommy Fury.

Michael McIntyre was the recipient of the Bruce Forsyth entertainment award for his Big Show, but in the comedy category, Michael McIntyre’s 25th Year Stand-Up Special lost out to sitcom Gavin & Stacey: The Finale, which brought the popular BBC series to an end on Christmas Day.

Ruth Jones, who co-wrote and co-starred in the programme alongside James Corden, told the audience: “Alright, calm down. I’m going to the bar now for a pint of wine.”
