As Dermot O'Leary prepares to present the 19th National Television Awards on Wednesday, we run through the things you can expect from British TV's version of the Oscars.

The ceremony will be broadcast live from The 02, London, and will air on ITV from 7.30pm, with the awards voted for by the telly-loving public.

Here are seven things to look out for...

With soap stars and reality stars all coming together on the red carpet, you can guarantee a least a handful of truly shocking ensembles. Think neon, think tight, and think skyscraper heels. (credit:WENN)
Abbey Clancy (02 of07)

Ballroom champion Abbey Clancy will continue to show us she's much more than just a footballer's wife as she performs one of her spectacular 'Strictly Come Dancing' routines. Sequins at the ready. (credit:PA)

Whether it's a flashbulb flash, an overzealous dollop of side boob or a full-on escaping bra a la Judy Finnigan, you can count on an NTA wardrobe malfunction. (credit:YouTube)

'X Factor' winner Sam gets to perform live with her singing legend Michael Bolton. We only hope it's as enjoyable for viewers as it will be for her... (credit:PA)
Broadchurch taking home a gong(06 of07)

OK, we can't guarantee this. But as one of the most popular dramas of 2013 and with two nominations - David Tennant is up for best TV Detective and the show for best Drama - our fingers are crossed. (credit:AP)

The NTAs have a knack of using guest presenters who have no idea who the winners are. This year one person who'll probably have to fake it is Brazilian actress Fernanda Lima. The Sun reports she will present a special section which will be centred on the upcoming World Cup. (credit:WENN)
