‘Love Island’ is up for 13 National Reality TV Awards.
The ITV2 show’s latest series will come to an end tonight (30.07.18) but several of the programme’s stars could still have plenty to celebrate this year after the likes of Dani Dyer, Jack Fincham, Laura Anderson, and host Caroline Flack were nominated for gongs.
‘Love Island’ itself is up for Best Entertainment Show, Best Reality Competition Show, Best Dating Show and Best Social Experiment Show, and the programme’s host Caroline Flack has a nod in the Best TV Presenter category.
Dani and Laura are up for Best Female Personality, and their fellow Islander Josh Denzel has a nod in the Male Personality category along with the show’s narrator, Iain Stirling.
Jack, Wes Nelson, Megan Barton Hanson and former Islander Georgia Steel are all up for the Reality Personality of the Year accolade ahead of the eighth National Reality TV Awards, which will take place on September 25 at London’s Porchester Hall.
‘Love Island’ host Caroline will do battle with This Morning’s Phillip Schofield, ‘Good Morning Britain’ pair Susanna Reid and Piers Morgan, Catchphrase’s Stephen Mulhern and Big Brother’s Emma Willis, among others, in the TV presenting category.
The competition is also strong for the Best Reality TV Judge of the Year gong, with former ‘X Factor’ judge Nicole Scherzinger given a nod in the category, alongside Sharon Osbourne, who will be a panellist for part of the upcoming series.
Britain’s Got Talent’s David Walliams and Alesha Dixon also earned nods, but there wasn’t one for Simon Cowell for his judging abilities on ‘BGT’ or ‘X Factor’.
However, the music mogul will go up against Sir David Attenborough, Noel Edmonds, Anne Robinson, Tim Wonnacott, David Dickinson, Davina McCall and Leanne Klein for the Outstanding Contribution Award.
Voting is live from Wednesday (01.08.18) at the National Reality TV Awards website.
