She had been nominated for three prestigious gongs at this year’s NTAs.
But just months after she complained she was ‘robbed’ of a BAFTA, Stacey Solomon, 35, was dealt another awards show blow as her hit factual series Sort Your Life Out missed out on an NTA once again on Wednesday night.
The much-loved reality show sees Stacey and her team transform cluttered homes across the UK, helping families decide what to keep and what to leave behind.
To make matters worse, Sort Your Life Out was pitted against her other show, Stacey & Joe, in the Entertainment category – leaving Stacey with a lose-lose situation on her hands.
In the end, it was Clarkson’s Farm that triumphed whilst she also lost out on the TV Presenter gong, watching Gary Lineker take the win.
The awards ceremony blow after Stacey complained that it was ‘absolutely ludicrous’ that both of her TV shows were nominated in the same category at the National Television Awards.
The presenter, who ranted she was ‘robbed’ of a BAFTA earlier this year, had both of her TV shows in the Entertainment category.
Speaking on Magic Radio, just hours ahead of the ceremony at The O2 in London, Stacey called in to share her thoughts.
She told presenters Tom Price and Lucy Horobin: ‘They’ve put Sort Your Life Out and Stacey & Joe in the same blummin’ category for some reason – we’re up against each other, which is absolutely ludicrous!
‘But you know what, I’m so grateful to just be going, it’s so nice to be shortlisted and nominated, knowing that it’s a public vote.
‘All our family are going to be there, it’s the first time our family has got to go to anything like this, so it’s going to be amazing no matter what happens!’
Tom asked at the time how Joe would feel if Sort Your Life Out took home the prize, and Stacey laughed: ‘He’ll secretly be giving me daggers, but outwardly I’m sure he’ll clap!’
Gary Lineker, This Morning and EastEnders were among the big winners on Wednesday night, as the stars of British TV descended on London’s O2 Arena for the 2025 National TV Awards.
Hosted by Joel Dommett for its 30th anniversary, the awards were televised on ITV1, with the winners voted for by the public.
And one of the biggest surprises of the night saw Gary finally bring an end to Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly’s 23-year winning streak, as the former footballer, 64, scored the win for Best Presenter.
The emotional presenter used his acceptance speech to take a pointed dig at his controversial departure from Match of the Day, as he declared it was ‘OK to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice’.
After 26 years, Gary presented his final show in May, after sharing a pro-Palestine Instagram video about Zionism featuring an emoji of a rat, which has anti-Semitic connotations. He apologised, but stepped down as host.
Speaking to the NTAs crowd, he admitted ‘it’s not lost on me why I might have won this award’, before ending his speech: ‘I think it demonstrates that perhaps it’s OK sometimes to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice.’
While it was also a redemption evening for This Morning, who scooped the Best Daytime gong again two years after their bruising defeat to The Repair Shop.
It also marked the first win for new hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley, with Alison Hammond telling the audience how they had all been ‘humbled’ by the past two losses.
And Strictly Come Dancing also came out champions, bagging Best Talent Show, despite a year full of scandals and controversies.
However, due to recording schedules for this year’s series, Tess Daly, Claudia Winkleman and the judges were unable to be there to collect the award.
And after it returned for its long-awaited finale at Christmas, beloved sitcom Gavin & Stacey won the award for Best Comedy, with Ruth Jones and Larry Lamb accepting the gong.
Jeremy Clarkson’s smash-hit show Clarkson’s Farm also came out on top, with Jeremy taking the moment to make a quip to the audience about how he was on weight-loss jab Mounjaro.
However, Stacey Solomon suffered a further blow following on from her BAFTA snub earlier this year, as her factual series Sort Your Life Out missed out on an NTA gong again, while she also lost out on Best Presenter.
Meanwhile Liz Hurley and Rob Rinder announced this year’s winner of the Reality Competition was I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, with reigning King of the Jungle Danny Jones leading the 2024 cast onstage to accept.
And Netflix’s Adolescence also proved a hit on the evening, with the acclaimed series beating out Disney+’s Rivals for Best New Drama, and teenage star Owen Cooper winning Best Drama Performance for playing twisted killer Jamie Miller.
An emotional moment of the night saw EastEnders’ Jessie Wallace and Michelle Ryan present the Serial Drama Performance to co-star Steve McFadden, who couldn’t hold back his tears as he was honoured for his portrayal of Phil Mitchell’s mental health crisis.
And the Walford cast had plenty to celebrate, as the ceremony ended with EastEnders scoring the coveted Best Serial Drama prize.
The night kicked off with comedian Michael McIntyre scoring a huge win for his Big Show, as he scooped The Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Award.
Lee Mack’s The 1% Club was voted Best Quiz Show this year, with the comedian using his time on stage to poke fun at Gary.
Meanwhile, the final ever series of Vera lost out to the BBC’s Call The Midwife for Best Returning Drama.
And it was a big night for former Love Island star Molly Mae Hague as she walked away with the award for Authored Documentary.
Her series, which initially charted her breakup last year from Tommy Fury, beat off stiff competition from Boyzone: No Matter What, Strictly Amy: Cancer and Me, There’s Only One Rob Burrow and Freddie Flintoff.
Animated BBC series Wallace and Gromit also received a special recognition award during the night, with creator Nick Park collecting the gong.
The red carpet arrivals were hosted by Sam Thompson and Pete Wicks for the second year in a row, who also took to the stage to hand out a gong.
The NTAs were established back in 1995 to give the public a voice when it came to recognising TV talent – as previously, awards had always been dished out by industry professionals.
Described as a ‘celebration of the nation’s most loved stars and shows’, people have had the opportunity to vote via post, telephone, and online.
