Good Morning Britain’s Piers Morgan has been nominated for Best TV Presenter at next year’s National Television Awards – but his co-star Susanna Reid has failed to make the cut.
The 52-year-old journalist – who joined the breakfast show alongside the brunette beauty in 2015 – will go up against the likes of comedy duo Ant & Dec, This Morning’s Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, Dermot O’Leary and Rylan Clark-Neal in the category at the forthcoming glamorous event, held at London’s O2, at the end of January 2018.
However, Susanna will no doubt be disappointed to learn that she hasn’t managed to wiggle her way onto the long list and won’t be able to bag the gong this time around.
She isn’t the only well-loved presenter visibly missing from the long list as the nation’s favourite pair Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have also been cut from the category.
But they may still get the chance to get up on stage as ‘This Morning’, which they present every Friday and over the holidays, has been nominated for Best Daytime Show.
The brunchtime programme will go up against sister shows ‘Loose Women’ and ‘Lorraine’, while ‘The Chase’, ‘Tipping Point’ and ‘Sunday Brunch’ will also be hoping to bag the prize.
‘The Apprentice’, ‘The Great British Bake Off’, ‘Celebrity Big Brother’, ‘Love Island’ and ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ will go head-to-head for the Best Challenge Show, while ‘The X Factor’, ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ and ‘The Voice’ are hoping to get Best Talent Show.
‘Call the Midwife’, Victoria’, ‘Doctor Foster’, ‘Poldark’, ‘Cold Feet’ and ‘Doctor Who’ are among those who have made the list for the Best Drama, so it’s hardly surprising that Jenna Coleman, Peter Capaldi John Thomson and Suranne Jones are up for Best Drama Performance.
Lacey Turner – who plays Stacey Fowler in ‘EastEnders’ – has once again made the list for Best Serial Performance, while her competitor Danny Miller (Aaron Livesy) is also up for the award.
