Danny Devito handled that so well.

Another swear bomb happened in another nominee package. One of the swear words was bleeped out but another one a second later wasn't.

Seems to be the case sh*t is a fine word to not bleep as it was kept in both times

Well according to Ofcom s**t is only a medium swear word so I guess that's why they're letting it in.

So how much has James Grant won tonight then?

Always felt it was wrong Ant and Dec were nominated as one anyway but found it especially annoying this year for obvious reasons. It would have been nice to see Dec nominated individually for the BGT Live shows. He deserves the award for that, but as things stand would like Holly to win.

Would you really have had a situation where one of them won, and the other didn’t, and in theory the same one may have won every year.

If it was the children’s awards would you have voted for Sam separately from Mark, or Dick separately from Dom?

I can understand Brekkie's point.


It would be a bit like Philip Schofield and Holly Willoughby (who present more than one show together) being nominated together.

Exactly - other duos have the vote split. Arguably Dec and Holly should have been nominated together as well.

Unless I'm mistaken the presenter award isn't necessarily for a specific show, and to be fair Ant and Dec still hosted more episodes of SNT and BGT together than some other nominees may have fronted shows.

One anomaly is re: I'm a Celeb. Technically as the vote opens before it airs the nomination is for the previous series, so guess as Ant hosted the 2017 series that technically is in the qualifying period.

The winner of the NTA 1977 is Eric Morecambe...

Ernie Wise snubbed yet again

That’s very different though, they aren’t a double act.

They host over 300 hours or so of live television together every year. Ant and Dec front less than 50.

Hang on, am I watching the NTAs or a party political broadcast.

Trust Danny Dyer to lower the tone

Currently at 3 swear bombs and it's only 12 past 9. That's Numberwang!

How much of a delay is there this year? Or are they going hell for leather and going all out live?

I suspect Dimbleby was tipped off about the award, otherwise why on earth would he ever turn up to an event like this?!
