Ant + Dec nominated for 19th National Television Award

Ant & Dec have been nominated for their 19th National Television Award.

The presenting duo will go head to head with Graham Norton, Bradley Walsh, Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield to be named Best TV Presenter at the annual awards ceremony on January 28, 2020, but with its changed format, \'The X Factor\' missed out on a nomination in the Talent Show category.

Instead, \'Strictly Come Dancing\' will go up against \'Britain\'s Got Talent\', \'The Voice UK\' and \'Dancing on Ice\' to be crowned champion.

Despite no nod for \'X Factor\' itself, Simon Cowell will bid against \'The Voice\'s Sir Tom Jones and will.i.am and the NTAs host David Walliams to be crowned TV Judge of the Year. RuPaul - who appeared as a judge on the new series of \'RuPaul\'s Drag Race UK\' - is also given his first nomination in this category.

On the drama side of things, \'Line of Duty\', \'Peaky Blinders\', \'Call the Midwife\', \'Killing Eve\' and \'Casualty\' will fight it out to take home the prize, with Cillian Murphy, Idris Elba and Michael Stevenson going against the girls - Suranne Jones and Jodie Comer - to be named Best Drama Performance.

Turning to the soaps, \'Coronation Street\'s Katie McGlynn will face stiff competition from \'EastEnders\' Danny Dyer, \'Emmerdale\'s Danny Miller and \'Hollyoaks\' Gregory Finnegan to be crowned Best Serial Drama Performance.

Ricky Gervais\' comedy \'After Life\' will go head to head with frontrunner \'Fleabag\' - fresh from winning a Golden Globes across the pond - as well as \'Derry Girls\', \'Sex Education\' and \'Mrs Brown\'s Boys\' for Best Comedy.

Jesy Nelson\'s emotional documentary \'Odd One Out\', which documents her struggles with online trolls, has been nominated in the Best Factual category alongside \'Ambulance\', \'Gogglebox\', \'Paul O\'Grady: For the Love of Dogs\' and \'Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip\'.

The National Television Awards return on January 28, 2020 with David Walliams as host for a special 25th anniversary edition, held at London\'s O2 Arena.
