The 2025 National Television Awards delivered a night of surprises and well-deserved recognition for some of British television's biggest names and most beloved shows. In a glittering ceremony held at London's O2 Arena, the great and the good of the broadcasting world gathered to celebrate another year of outstanding entertainment.
Clarkson's Agricultural Triumph
Proving its immense popularity with the British public, Jeremy Clarkson's Amazon Prime Video series, Clarkson's Farm, drove away with the prestigious Award for Best Factual Entertainment. The win is a significant accolade for the streaming service, marking a notable victory over traditional terrestrial television giants.
Lineker's Top Score
In a highly competitive category, football pundit and former England striker Gary Lineker secured the win for Best TV Expert. He faced stiff competition from the likes of Martin Lewis and Rylan Clark, but it was Lineker's charismatic presence on Match of the Day that ultimately won the hearts and votes of the nation.
Terrestrial Television Holds Strong
While streaming services made their mark, established broadcasters still enjoyed a strong showing. The inimitable Graham Norton picked up yet another award for Best Interview, a testament to his enduring skill as a chat show host. The ever-popular duo Ant and Dec continued their historic winning streak, taking home the Award for Best Presenter for a remarkable 23rd consecutive year.
Daytime and Drama Delights
ITV's flagship daytime programme, This Morning, fought off strong competition to be named the winner of the Best Daytime Show category. In the world of drama, the BBC's beloved Call the Midwife delivered once again, being crowned the winner of the Best Drama Performance award.
The full list of winners underscores the diverse and high-quality programming that continues to captivate UK audiences, from reality TV and factual entertainment to hard-hitting drama and live sports coverage.
