'Great British Bake Off’, ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ and ‘The X Factor’ are among the TV shows that have been nominated for this year’s National Television Awards.
The shortlist for the 2016 NTAs has now been revealed, and ‘Strictly’ is set to take on ‘X Factor’ in the Talent Show category, while ‘Bake Off’ will battle it out with ‘The Apprentice’ in best Challenge Show category, as Ant and Dec go head-to-head with… oh, what does it even matter - they’re obviously going to win.
Ant and Dec
The Geordie presenting pair have won the gong for Best TV Presenters for the past 14 years, and all that stands between them and a whopping 15th victory are Rylan Clark, Graham Norton and Mel & Sue, who are also nominated in the category this year.
Suranne Jones has also been nominated in the Drama Performance category for her role in ‘Doctor Foster’, alongside David Tennant, Sheridan Smith and Aidan Turner, while Danny Dyer will be hoping to make it two years in a row for best Serial Drama Performance.
