The National Television Awards are around the corner and voting is now open.

Since its beginnings in 1995, the NTAs has been Britain's biggest TV awards ceremony and it's seen some pretty special moments in that time. In 2018, the longest ever standing ovation was recorded for Blue Planet II presented by David Attenborough which, quite rightly, won an impact award.

Ant and Dec are regular faces at the awards for being repeatedly nominated the best TV presenters. And let's not forget the hungover Holly and Phil, two other regular nominees, presenting This Morning the morning after the night before.

Among the nominees this year are Line of Duty, Love Island and Bridgerton.

How to vote in the NTAs

The voting process for the National Television Awards is fairly simple. The easiest way to vote is online, but you can also vote via post or telephone.

To vote online, head to the NTAs website and click 'vote' in the top navigation bar.

You'll then be asked to click your favourite nominee in each category. There's also the option to skip a category if you don't want to vote for that particular one.

Once you've finished voting, you'll be asked to give your name and email address to confirm your vote. If you don't do this, your vote won't be submitted.

And that's it. Voting online closes at midday on Thursday 9th September.

What channel is the National Television Awards on?

The NTAs take place at the O2 in London on Thursday 9th September 2021 from 7:30pm.

Tickets are on sale to the public who fancy dressing up and watching the awards live among the celebs.

If you're watching it from home though, the awards will be broadcast on ITV and ITV Hub from 7.30pm. Of course, you can also catch up on the NTAs on ITV Hub the following morning (just avoid the news and social media until you've seen it).

Who's hosting the NTAs this year?

In previous years, the NTAs have been hated by David Walliams. But this year, The Masked Singer's Joel Dommett will host.

"TV has been so important over the last weird few years - can't wait to be in a big room with everyone to celebrate it all," he said on Instagram.Featured Image Credit: National Television Awards
