This Morning's Holly and Phil awkwardly snubbed at NTAs – as Alison Hammond is nominated

This Morning presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield have failed to land a nomination at this year’s National Television Awards.

Although the TV double act were snubbed, their colleague Alison Hammond received a nod.

The 47-year-old will battle it out against Ant and Dec for the TV presenter award – which they have won at every NTAs since 2001.

Alison is the only woman nominated in the presenter category, which also includes Bradley Walsh and Graham Norton.

If anyone else wins in 2022, it will bring Ant and Dec’s 20-year winning streak to an end.

Although Holly and Phil missed out on individual nods, This Morning is up for best Daytime show alongside Loose Women, The Chase and The Repair Shop.

Elsewhere, Neighbours was a surprise entry in the Serial Drama category following the end of its 37-year run last month.

Stars such as Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan and Margot Robbie – who all got their big breaks on the Australian soap – appeared in the final episode.

The programme will go head-to-head with UK soaps Coronation Street, Emmerdale and EastEnders in a bid to win a final gong.

When it comes to talent shows, Britain’s Got Talent and Strictly Come Dancing will battle it out with The Masked Singer and RuPaul’s Drag Race UK.

Quiz shows getting a nod this year include Beat the Chasers, In for a Penny, Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel and The 1% Club.

The Authored Documentary category will be a tough one to call as Kate Garraway: Caring For Derek, Katie Price : What Harvey Did Next and Paddy and Christine McGuinness: Our Family and Autism are all nominated.

Tom Parker from The Wanted – who tragically died from a brain tumour at the age of just 33 – has been posthumously honoured for his moving documentary Inside My Head.

Those battling it out for the New Drama award are Adam Kay’s This Is Going To Hurt, Time – starring Sean Bean and Stephen Graham –  Netflix ’s coming-of-age series Heartstopper and Trigger Point featuring Vicky McClure.

Bridgerton, Call the Midwife, Peaky Blinders and The Split are all up for Returning Drama.

Clarkson’s Farm, Gogglebox, The Great British Bake Off and Paul O’Grady: For the Love of Dogs make up the nominations in the Factual Entertainment category.
