NTA Awards 2019 Winners: ‘Bodyguard’ Leads Wins In A Night Of Few Surprises

‘Bodyguard’ was the big winner at this year’s National Television Awards, taking home two top prizes on Tuesday night. 

The hit BBC drama won the gong for Best New Drama, while lead star Richard Madden was awarded Best Drama Performance for his turn as Sergeant David Budd.

Elsewhere, it was a night of few shocks, with Ant and Dec winning Best Presenter for the 18th consecutive year, despite Ant time out of the spotlight last year, following his conviction for drink-driving. 

During their speech, Ant said he felt like he “couldn’t accept” the award, as he paid tribute to his co-host for flying the flag solo during his time off. 

There were also awards for old favourites like ‘This Morning’, ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ judge David Walliams, Danny Dyer, and ‘Strictly Come Dancing’

One upset did come in the Factual Entertainment category though, as ‘Paul O’Grady’s For The Love Of Dogs’ beat both ‘Great British Bake Off’ and ‘Gogglebox’ to triumph.
